WESTBOROUGH – Several months after announcing it was coming to town, Big Y Supermarket is about to start work on its new location at 290 Turnpike Road.
Applications for building permits were pulled in late September. Plans call for the interior to be fitted out. Work will include new interior slab, walls, lighting, walk-in coolers, shelving, fixtures and finishes.
The interior totals 41,448 square feet.
Planning Director Jenny Gingras said the permit for the fit-out was issued on Nov. 5. “They do not need Planning Board approval since there are no alterations to the parking or building. The use is also the same as the previous one,” she said.
An exact timeline has yet to be announced, although two signs at the site said the opening will take place soon.
Big Y will be located in the former home of Stop and Shop that was originally planned to house an Amazon Fresh. Ashley Homestore also occupies some of the former Stop and Shop space.
