"Opening its first Rhode Island location at 25 Pace Blvd. in Warwick on May 21, I note that Market Basket — a chain rooted in a small Lowell grocerette opened by Greek immigrants Athanasios and Efrosini Demoulas in 1917 and known for the slogan “more for your dollar” — is beloved throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine for its affordable prices and fiercely loyal staff; the new store will open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. (senior shopping hours 6 to 7 a.m.), and a second Rhode Island location will follow soon in Johnston." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
