Situated on two acres of property, Garrett’s Family Market is a 5,000-square-foot store that’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Conceptually, the store is designed to be heavily focused on foodservice and to give customers the feeling of a market — one where they’d expect to find fresh-food offers.
A variety of signature items are available — from craveable grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, calzones, snacks and desserts, to handcrafted and organic beverages.
The fare is merchandised and displayed using characteristics associated with New England, including wood textures and soft color palates. The warm aesthetics flow from the forecourt to the inside.
In the short term, Volta Oil plans to closely monitor the success of the Milford Garrett’s Family Market to see what’s working and not working. The company is also building a second market on Cape Cod, which is expected to open by the end of the year.
“Long term, we will evaluate the success of Garrett’s Family Market and potentially build additional stores and/or convert existing Rapid Refill stores,” Garrett shared with CSNews.
