Big Y plans to open a 48,000-square-foot supermarket at Greatwood Marketplace, 175 Mansfield Ave. in Norton, Massachusetts. The store is slated to open in early 2028. The Norton project is part of the Springfield, Massachusetts-based grocer's expansion, which also includes planned stores in Fairhaven and North Dartmouth in 2027.
Why this matters: The new store could change grocery competition and shopping access for Norton and surrounding communities. Independent grocers in the area may need to track the project's potential effect on customer traffic.
