Market Basket (New England) Massachusetts, 29 stores in New Hampshire, and a single store in Maine. The chain's footprint has expanded greatly in the past 15 years, and now encompasses an area stretching along the New England coastline from Cape Cod to southern Maine, to as far west as just shy of the Vermont and Rhode Island state lines. The first Maine location opened in Biddeford in August 2013, while a second Maine store is planned in Westbrook for opening in late 2018 or early 2019. New projects were stalled from 2013 to 2014 due to disputes between company president Arthur T. Demoulas and
New England state to state, primarily due to settlers throughout the region having named their new towns after their old ones. For example, the town of North Yarmouth, Maine was named by settlers from Yarmouth, Massachusetts, which was in turn named for Great Yarmouth in England. As another example, every New England state has a town named Warren, and every state except Rhode Island has a city or town named Andover, Bridgewater, Chester, Franklin, Manchester, Plymouth, Washington, and Windsor; in addition, every state except Connecticut has a Lincoln and a Richmond, and Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine each contains a Franklin County.
