Grossman's Seafood Closing After Long Run

As the news spread that Grossman’s Seafood of Mystic closed the day before after 90 years in business, community members expressed their sadness via Facebook.

• Katherine Metcalf Davis: What a huge loss. It is my seafood market of choice.
• Kate Hughes Brown: Noooo!!!
• Charles Myers: Too bad… a real loss to the community.

According to The Day, the Grossman’s Seafood Gold Star Highway outlet will be closed by week’s end. The business has been a fixture in the community and was known for more than its seafood.

“Alongside growth and expansion, Grossman’s continually gives back to the community,” the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce wrote.

Grossman’s raised more than $20,000 for charity and provided a storage facility for donated items that went toward care packages for soldiers serving overseas.

“I always appreciated the way they remembered veterans,” Dave Stryker said on Stonington-Mystic Patch’s Facebook page. “Sorry to see them go.”
