Vicente’s Supermarket, of Brockton, will open at 470 Pawtucket Ave., the former Ocean State Job Lot, says owner Jason Barbosa.
Asked why he sees Pawtucket as the right spot to expand his stores with the slogan “where you feel at home,” Barbosa was quick with an answer.
“I think it fits who we are as a business and the customers we’re looking to serve,” he said. “This is the right opportunity.”
He described Vicente’s, also known as Vicente’s Tropical Market, as a traditional supermarket that specializes in international items, including African, Portuguese, Central American and Colombian foods.

Covid, 19, forced him into a coma for six weeks. He says his entire body, shut down in the virus, nearly killed him on several occasions. They killed my family to say come by to me three times because they weren't going to disconnect me. But he survived and is now on the long road to recovery. I am amazed at how wonderful he looks, just amazed. It's truly a miracle. While Barbosa has some relatives here, his immediate family, his wife, two Children and parents are all in Mexico, so they were unable to visit him for the nearly four months he was in central DuPage Hospital. Thank you. He's 25 years old, had no pre existing health concerns, and his doctor says his case should serve as a warning. Young people need to take this very seriously. Also, every day in our intensive care unit, people are dying from the virus. Barbosa was released last August, but he still has to check in at the hospital frequently. While he deals with the after effects of the virus, he's hoping to get the vaccine as soon as he can and hoping to see his family. When I woke up, it was the first thing that came to my mind, like wanting to survive, wanting, being positive, to be able to be there for them.
