Best Chain With A Mom-And-Pop Feel
McQuade's Marketplace
Actually, it's only a chain of three. In Westerly, Jamestown, and Mystic, Connecticut, MCQUADE'S MARKETPLACE stores have lived up to their motto of "quality without compromise," carrying many locally-produced items as well as a good selection of local and/or organic produce. They also offer custom-cut meats, on-site baked goods, a complete pharmacy with home health care products, and a full-service garden department. But it's their wide-ranging catering department that really reaches into the communities where they are located, providing everything from soup to nuts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and other corporate or family events. The staff is friendly and helpful; the store's layout is not nearly as intimidating (or tiring) as in larger superstores. | 106 Main Street, Westerly | 401.596.2054 | 6 Clarke Street, Jamestown | 401.423.0873 | 14 Clara Drive, Mystic, CT | mcquadesmarket.com
