New + improved!
Dorchester Market announced on social media that it’s officially reopened at 951 Dorchester Ave. As you recall, the Dorchester Market closed a few years back to make way for a new development consisting of a five-story, mixed-use building located at the corner of Dot Ave and E. Cottage Street. The new and improved Dorchester Market is located on the ground level of this new building. In addition to selling groceries, fresh produce, and meat, the market also sells beer and wine, making this location a one-stop shopping destination! Stop by and welcome them back!
