Cloudy. Showers likely...mainly in the morning. Highs in the upper 50s. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph. Gusts up to 30 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 60 percent.
It's a done deal. I do remember several people saying they were going to picket if the deal went through. Time to see of they were really against the buy out or just complaining for the sake of complaining.
As for me, I'm super optimistic about this. I'm willing to pay more for fresh produce, meats, and organic foods. Here's to our health!
What is the real reason behind the delayed grand opening of Whole Foods in late fall 2013? It took Stop & Shop less than 2 months to fitout the former Johnnies Foodmaster on Salem Street, Medford which opens Friday. You could tear down the Bunker Hill Mall site and construct a new store in less time.

Supermarket chain Stop & Shop plans to open its new Medford location -- the former site of Johnnie's Foodmaster on Salem Street -- on Friday, according to an announcement from the company.
Since Johnnie's Foodmaster closed in November, Stop & Shop has worked quickly to renovate and convert the store at 471 Salem St. into one of its supermarkets. The store will employ about 100 people, including about 30 former employees of the Johnnie's Foodmaster, the announcement said. A grand opening is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday.
The store received final approval from Medford's Board of Health, Fire and Building Departments last week, according to a city official. It still needs to receive its common victualler license from the City Council, which is expected to consider it in its meeting Tuesday.
The storefront has been a supermarket since at least 1961 -- as far back as city records for the property go.
