ARLINGTON, MA — A Japanese grocery store and deli is taking over the one-time home of a butcher shop in Arlington Heights. Maruichi Japanese Food & Deli, which has locations in Connecticut, New York and Brookline, is opening in the former Prime spot at 1398 Massachusetts Ave.
The shop plans to open sometime later this year or in January, according to a post on the Maruichi Facebook page. The store sells items such as Japanese meats, bento boxes, ramen, sushi, bubble tea and more, according to Boston Restaurant Talk, which first reported the news.
Prime, Your Trusted Butcher closed in January after a little over five years in Arlington Heights.
