According to Produce News, "This small store will be more European in style, with fresh offerings that change throughout the day, catering to shoppers who like the convenience and quality of purchasing fresh foods and grocery staples more frequently than a traditional weekly supermarket shopping trip."

Roche Bros' President Gary Pfeil told Produce News he looks forward to serving Medfield.  

"As a locally owned and operated Massachusetts retailer, we are delighted to be adding such an iconic neighborhood location to our portfolio,” Pfeil said. 

Pfeil was quoted in Supermarket News as saying the store will offer “unique offerings, including artisanal products, prepared foods, baked goods, and seasonal and exotic produce, only available at specialty stores or not available at all, provided at [a store] offering convenience and unparalleled customer service.”
