Johnnie’s Foodmaster in Medford will become a Stop & Shop

All 10 Johnnie’s Foodmaster supermarkets are closing, not just the six being taken over by Whole Foods Market, according to a company hired to liquidate the local chain. But a seventh store -- in Medford -- will reopen as a Stop & Shop.

Hilco Merchant Resources, based in Illinois, said Johnnie’s has started offering discounts of up to 30 percent on all food, beverages, household products, and general merchandise as the business starts to wind down after 65 years.

The Stop & Shop in Revere, on VFW Parkway opposite Wonderland Park, is closing next week. I haven't seen a word in the Globe.
