“Hannaford Supermarkets is honored to bring our signature combination of everyday low prices, quality foods and outstanding service to Walden residents,” said Store Manager Olhae Cosh. “I encourage the Walden community to join us as we celebrate the grand opening of our store. We look forward to showing shoppers the results of what we have been working on.
