Under apparent pressure from City Hall, Trinity Financial is once again talking about putting a new Stop & Shop in the Bulfinch Triangle area, near the North End, the BBJ is reporting in its print edition (subscription required for online stories).
Trinity had recently announced that Stop & Shop no longer wanted to open a new supermarket at One Canal Street, despite previous plans and calls to do so. The no-go decision apparently didn’t please City Hall and North End residents — and so Trinity and the huge supermarket chain are in discussions again about how to open a new store at One Canal, according to the BBJ.
We can only imagine what type of pressure was brought to bear on the two parties. After all, it’s not exactly smart to anger Mayor Menino in this town.
