SCOPE
At a proposed 38,650 square feet, the unnamed Framingham grocery store is smaller than what is typical of a supermarket.
In the approved plans, the existing building (which houses a Barnes & Noble and Old Navy) will be torn down and replaced with a new building for the unnamed grocery store and three smaller retail spaces — a less expensive option than renovating the existing building, according to Chris Reville, senior project manager of construction and development for SITE.
The store will have two entrances: a main entrance for shoppers and a second dedicated to grocery pickup. Services like contactless and curbside pickup have become more mainstream for shoppers during the pandemic.
