Fruit Center Marketplace

Fruit Center Marketplace calls itself Milton’s neighborhood grocery store. Its shelves combine gourmet and specialty items, imported goods, and natural and organic products with many familiar brand-name foods. Fresh departments include meat and fish, a sliced-to-order deli, New England produce in season and a creative floral department, and the store also carries an extensive selection of wine and craft beer. Prepared meals are also on offer.

Many of the store’s staff have worked in the food business for years and are eager to share their knowledge with customers. The company also operates a second store in Hingham, and its website promotes the business as the South Shore’s favorite grocery store. In-store extras include book recommendations from Lisa Donovan’s Lisa’s Book Club and a collaboration with Trillium Brewing called Food Haul.
