Hannaford Supermarket has opened its new Scarborough store, located at 417 Payne Road, on Oct. 7, at 7 a.m. This 58,000-square-foot store is the second in Hannaford’s home base of Scarborough — the other store is located on 31 Hannaford Drive, U.S. Route 1.
The Payne Road location marks Hannaford’s 187th store, including 66 in Maine. The store will employ nearly 140 full- and part-time associates. Hannaford will continue to operate its other Scarborough Oak Hill store at its existing location.
According to the press release, the store’s features include grab-and-go meals, a hot and cold foods bar, Hannaford To Go grocery pickup and delivery, nearly 20 self-checkout registers, and a full-service pharmacy. To mark the grand opening, Hannaford plans to offer a range of special giveaways and promotions throughout the month of October, including a chance to win a $1,000 Hannaford gift card.
Hannaford Supermarkets Vice President of Retail Operations Todd Bullen expressing his excitement about the new store, said, “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. We look forward to welcoming shoppers to the new store and encourage them to join us as we celebrate this addition to our community.”
The store presents a diverse range of menu items like, freshly-made grab-and-go options, encompassing entrees, appetizers, side dishes, sandwiches, and salads. Hannaford To Go allows Scarborough area shoppers to order groceries online for pickup or delivery in as little as four hours. The store at the Payne Road store also includes a full-service pharmacy.
Hannaford made a total of $10,000 in donations to two local hunger relief organizations, the Scarborough Food Pantry and the South Portland Food Cupboard, according to the press release.
Hannaford Payne Road Store Manager Ken Kirouac said, “As a committed community partner, Hannaford believes in nourishing our communities, including increasing access to healthy foods. We are pleased to support these organizations with this donation and thank the Scarborough community for extending such a warm welcome to our associates.”
Kirouac said Hannaford’s dedication to fighting hunger extends to all its stores, with regular food donations to local hunger relief organizations and support for local nonprofits and schools. In 2022, Hannaford donated more than 25 million pounds of food to hunger relief organizations and prevented 65 million pounds of food waste from reaching landfills.
The Payne Road store is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Pharmacy hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
