Big Y, Your Family Market’s newest location at Westfarms, central Connecticut’s shopping center in Farmington marks a significant milestone in Big Y’s continued commitment to serving communities across the region with fresh, local and high-quality offerings.

D’Amour, vice president of real estate and development. “This new location will deepen our connection with customers in central Connecticut and allow us to continue delivering our signature customer service through our exceptional and knowledgeable employees.”
Big Y’s Westfarms store, approximately 53,000 square feet, is slated to open in spring 2027 on the southern side of the Westfarms property. More details, including hiring opportunities and grand opening events, will be shared in the coming months.
