Project Overview

Big Y, a longtime MPM customer, came to us to equip its new supermarket in Saugus, Massachusetts. The store includes grocery, food service, bakery, and deli departments, and it needed a full lineup of hot food and prep equipment in place and working by opening day.

Long equipment lead times and some existing equipment that had to be replaced meant timing was critical. MPM worked with manufacturers, store operations, Big Y’s culinary team, procurement, and technicians to keep the project on schedule through the grand opening.

How MPM Helped

MPM handled equipment procurement, coordinated delivery and installation, and trained staff. We placed orders early to get ahead of long lead times and scheduled deliveries so each piece arrived when the site was ready. Key equipment included a PizzaMaster pizza deck oven, Pitco fryers, a Fri-Jado chicken rotisserie and hot shelves, an Amana rapid-cook oven, a Waring panini grill, and Metro storage shelving.

Two days before the grand opening, the store’s existing chicken rotisserie stopped working. Because we keep inventory on hand for situations like this, we delivered a new rotisserie and trained staff on it within a day, even though the store is three hours from our office. Our team was also at the grand opening, and we’re now quoting two more Big Y locations for 2027.
