I remember this building well. Every Saturday my mother, sister and I went shopping there. Just before we left for home, my Mom would treat us to the biggest and the bestest 'cream puffs'. They were huge and delicious!

i Remember going to this market in the forties with my grandfather to buy our Saturday night beans.He would buy nothing unless he could have a sample.I remeber also that during the war years some people refused to shop there because of the the German name of the owners. Thanks for the memories.

When my great grandmother shopped here every Wednesday in the 1920's, she took advantage of their home delivery system. After she had lunch at the market's lunch counter she went through the store choosing her groceries. The price of each item was added to a bill she paid when she was finished. The item she choose was given a ID number and sent to a central collecting area for delivery to her house. By the time she had been to a movie and had had a banana split and arrived home her groceries were there waiting for her. This was her Wednesday ritual

Yes, I remember this building. It was an A&P and Goodwill. Didn't it also house the Department of Motor Vehicles at one time? Does the building still exist?

Oh my goodness! I remember that being the market when I was real little. I believe the department of transitional assistance was there too. I can not get over the amazing sights of Worcester

I may be mistaken, but this looks like Chandler and Main streets.

Worcester Market is now attached to the Registry of Motor vehicles and houses the "Department of Enviromental Protection". 08/05
In the early 1960s this was a Stop and Shop grocery store. My favorite thing was the counter in the front where I used to get some sort of yellow beverage called "Blend". In the back was the butcher area, and they had some sort of mannequin dressed in a butcher's apron. It always scared me. If you entered or exited in the back there was a long ramp.
