This Massive Massachusetts Grocery Store Is Worth A Road Trip For Its Huge Holiday Selection

A model train runs along the back wall of this grocery store, right above the dairy case. I can’t think of a better way to make buying milk feel like a small adventure. The store opens at 6 AM and stays open until midnight, seven days a week. That gives you a lot of hours to plan a holiday feast.

Zippity Do Dog is for sale again as owners cite health issues

Just six months after taking ownership of the popular Framingham hot dog stand Zippity Do Dog , owners Alan and Paponake MacIntosh are looking for a new buyer, citing health reasons. The MacIntoshes took over the beloved hot dog stand parked at 160 Speen St. in May and have since revamped the menu with new ingredients and items while continuing the nearly 20 year old business. They purchased the stand from former owner Roland Houle, who stepped away from the business after seven years to pursue a new career opportunity. In a social media post on Nov. 4, the MacIntoshes announced that they made the decision to sell Zippity Do Dog and find a new owner to continue the business.
