Tim WeisbergHOST
They had to shut down the website and shut down the app, so you couldn't access your coupons.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And this is gonna be something that I think, you know, a lot of folks with Big Y coming in, in the next six, seven, eight months.
Tim WeisbergHOST
Certainly by a year from now, you'll have two Big Y stores in Ma-- in-- on the South Coast within a few minutes of each other, Fairhaven and Dartmouth.
Tim WeisbergHOST
Personally, I'm kind of excited for it because, again, I've had their sandwiches, their pre-made sandwiches, and I, I always need an easy lunch.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And I can just walk right over.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And yeah, the prices are low, but also sometimes I like walking in and finding a deal.
Tim WeisbergHOST
So I do think that there's people who shop there to, to, to save money but would also welcome something else if the prices were in line with that.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And I don't know enough about Big Y to tell you where the prices are gonna be.
Tim WeisbergHOST
So unlike in the past, the past few years since Spirit Christmas first began, it was...
Tim WeisbergHOST
Located in the former Christmas tree shop, which probably seemed fitting, right? However, that building is no longer an option because it has been secured for a new big Y location.
Tim WeisbergHOST
which is expected to open in the spring or summer of next year.
Tim WeisbergHOST
Although it doesn't look like, and I don't know what's going on inside, but from the outside, it doesn't look like it's as far along as the Fairhaven one.
Tim WeisbergHOST
I wonder if that's a purposeful move on the part of the big Y corporation that they want to have one open and then have a little bit of time and then have the other one open rather than like both of them open on the same day kind of thing.
Tim WeisbergHOST
But either way, you're going to have big Y supermarkets in the first half of 2027.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And I think I've only been in a big Y once or twice.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And so I can't speak to how good the prices are.
Bobby SherwoodHOST
L- so for anyone who may have missed this, uh, Rocky Hill named itself Connecticut's food capital based on its, like, high per capita restaurant density.
Bobby SherwoodHOST
So when, [laughs] like when I read this, I text one of my best friends, Brian, who was originally from Rocky Hill, but he lives in Colchester now, and his response was, "I didn't know Dunkin' Donuts and Big Y supermarket qualified." [laughs]
Morgan NyerickGUEST
[laughs]
Bobby SherwoodHOST
So props to Rocky Hill for upping their, like, restaurant game since, uh, Brian lived there.
Marc BertrandHOST
I don't do that.
Marc BertrandHOST
I go to Big Y and I get a New England coffee, and it comes in all these different flavors.
Marc BertrandHOST
[laughs] 'Cause I don't do Dunkin'.
Marc BertrandHOST
Uh, uh, what you should do is try the apple crisp.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And we, we are getting those.
Tim WeisbergHOST
So you might not get a big flashy-- You know, you might not have landed Big Y supermarket, but you might have brought in five other companies that are now gonna headquarter themselves somewhere in New Bedford.
Tim WeisbergHOST
It just-- You don't-- That's not as visible unless, you know, Mayor Mitchell comes in here and tells you, "Well, we just welcomed this business." You know, uh, they, they might put out a press release if there's a ribbon cutting or something, but most people don't pay attention to that stuff.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And so unless you hear about it, you don't know about it.

The parking lot was busy with shoppers and parents unloading groceries.
Jeff KuhnerHOST
And I, I'm sorry, I l- by the way, some of them hold down very good jobs.
Jeff KuhnerHOST
For example, at my local Stop & Shop and Big Y, they're baggers, they, uh, they work at the cashier, they- they're excellent workers.
Jeff KuhnerHOST
But they can be easily led and manipulated because they're very trusting, okay? They really have a good heart.
Jeff KuhnerHOST
You could really take advantage of autistic people.
