Our New England roots were firmly planted in 1860, when George C. Shaw opened his first store in Portland, Maine. A few years later, another native New Englander, Maynard A. Davis, opened his first “Public Markets” in Brockton and New Bedford Massachusetts. Together, these two men sowed the seeds that would one day become Shaw’s Supermarkets, Inc. And over the past 143 years, our growth can be directly attributed to the ingenuity of these two men and their belief in offering quality products and quality service. Today, Shaw’s Supermarkets continues to thrive, employing approximately 30,000 associates in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont. |
