Hannaford Supermarkets officially opened the doors and welcomed customers to its new Scarborough, Maine, store on Oct. 7. Located at 417 Payne Road, the new 58,000-square-foot store is Hannaford’s second in its hometown of Scarborough. The Northeast grocer will continue to operate its Scarborough Oak Hill store at its existing location.

The new Payne Road location helps deepens the retailer’s ties with the community while enhancing convenience for customers with such offerings as freshly prepared grab-and-go meals, including entrees, appetizers, side dishes, sandwiches and salads, and a hot- and cold-food bar offering fresh ready-to-eat items made on-site daily, including brick-oven pizza and chef-crafted sushi.

The Scarborough store offers a variety of items made by local farmers and producers, including Casco Bay Creamery, in Scarborough; Coffee By Design, in Portland; Smiling Hill Farm, in Westbrook; and Watcharee’s Thai Sauces, in Yarmouth.

Customers have the option of using fully staffed checkout aisles or self-checkout registers.

The new location also offers Hannaford To Go grocery pickup and delivery, nearly 20 self-checkout registers and a full-service pharmacy.

“All of us at Hannaford are tremendously excited to make our high-quality fresh food and produce, convenient services such as Hannaford To Go, outstanding customer service and everyday low prices available to more shoppers in the Scarborough area,” said Hannaford Supermarkets VP of Retail Operations Todd Bullen. “We look forward to welcoming shoppers to the new store and encourage them to join us as we celebrate this addition to our community.”
