Big Y Foods has shared plans to open a new 53,000-square-foot supermarket at 200 Indian River Road in Orange, Connecticut, in spring 2027.
Entering the new year with momentum, this announcement further strengthens Big Y’s presence in South Central Connecticut and builds on the company’s recent news of a future location at Westfarms, reinforcing its commitment to the region.
“Orange is more than a new store, it’s a continuation of the story we’ve built with our family of Big Y locations across Connecticut,” said Mathieu L. D’Amour, VP of real estate and development.
“We’re committed to creating meaningful career opportunities, deepening local connections and delivering a shopping experience that’s convenient, personalized and rooted in the communities we serve.”
More details, including hiring opportunities and grand opening events, will be shared in the coming months.
“Big Y is a fantastic addition to Colonial Commons and the Orange community,” said Charles Davis, VP of leasing for Brixmor Property Group, owner of Colonial Commons, the shopping center where the store will be located.
“Grocery anchors are essential to the vitality of open-air shopping centers, generating daily trips while serving as a convenient resource for local households. Big Y’s commitment to quality, service and community aligns well with our long-term vision for the center.”
