From South Bay’s big stores to the corner shops

South Bay, beside the Southeast Expressway at Dorchester’s northern edge, is the neighborhood’s big shopping center, with a supermarket, discount department stores and chain shops. Its stockrooms, registers, carts and service desks need people on every shift, and the 8, 10 and 16 buses stop right at the center.

Dorchester Avenue is the long retail street, with shops, pharmacies and markets around Savin Hill, Fields Corner and Ashmont, and more in Adams Village. Grove Hall, on Blue Hill Avenue at the Roxbury line, has a shopping center with a supermarket and a pharmacy, and Codman Square and Uphams Corner have business districts of their own.
