MILFORD, CT — Milford has Stop & Shop, ShopRite, Whole Foods, and soon there will be a Big Y World Class Market at 150 Boston Post Road, according to company officials.

This free- standing supermarket will be approximately 55,000 square feet. This location would be the 73rd Big Y market with locations throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Big Y maintains a strong presence in New Haven County, as this will be the chain’s 10th World Class Market there. They currently operate stores in Ansonia, Branford, Cheshire, Guilford, Meriden, Naugatuck, North Haven, North Branford and have another store scheduled to open in Derby in 2019.

The proposed Milford Big Y World Class Market will provide several opportunities for local contractors during the construction process.

"More than 130 full and part time positions are planned at this state-of-the-art market that will rival the finest markets in the world with superior customer service, locally sourced fruits and vegetables, fresh sushi, an extensive gluten free assortment and organic items along with other locally produced offerings," according to a news release from Big Y.

“We are excited to announce this addition to our Connecticut community of stores,” said Charles D’Amour, Big Y’s President and Chief Operating Officer.“We look forward to bringing Big Y’s world class service, quality and selection closer to shoppers in Milford and surrounding communities.”

World Class Market highlights include prepared meals including freshly made pizzas and rotisserie chicken dinners, stir fry, fresh cooked to order fish and chips, a broad selection of specialty and local foods including a wide array of organic and gluten free, a full service butcher shop, seafood direct from New England piers as well as an extensive produce department which offers over 500 different items including organics as well as fruits and vegetables from local farms and orchards.

Big Y produce buyers work with local growers throughout the year in order to be able to sell as much native produce as possible throughout the growing season. The property is owned by Metro Star Properties LLC of Milford.

“We see the proposed Big Y market as a wonderful addition to the Milford retail landscape. Big Y is a first class organization, committed to quality products and warm friendly service to their customers.
