(Wellesley, MA – Roche Bros. announces that its fifth Brothers Marketplace store will open to the public at 10am on November 12 in Cambridge, Mass.

The new store will be located at One Broadway in Kendall Square.
With 12,000 square feet of retail space, the market will emphasize local producers and vendors that have been handpicked by store associates, including Iggy’s Bread and Bonnie’s Jams from Cambridge, Taza Chocolate and Fluff from Somerville, and many more. An additional 8,000 square feet of prep space will include a kitchen on the premises for making a wide selection of prepared foods and scratch-baked creations with Brothers Marketplace’s own recipes. The store will also offer fun, interactive features, including a make-your-own salad dressing and marinade station and an “innovation station,” where local businesses and inventors in the area can come to share their latest ideas.
“The city of Cambridge is a vibrant center of innovation and we can’t wait to open our latest Brothers Marketplace store in the heart of it all,” said Rick Roche, co-owner and CEO of Roche Bros. “It means a lot to us to bring the first contemporary grocery store to the dynamic MIT Kendall Square community, and we look forward to serving area residents and businesses.”
