Main Street storefronts and neighborhood groceries

Downtown Melrose is a historic Main Street district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and it is still the city's shopping street. Its blocks hold hardware, gift, toy, book and clothing shops, florists, salons and a pharmacy, and more storefronts sit around the corner on West Emerson Street and West Wyoming Avenue.

A supermarket sits on Essex Street near Melrose/Cedar Park station and another on upper Main Street near the Lynn Fells Parkway, and there is a natural food store on Green Street. Franklin Street in Melrose Highlands has a small row of stores by the station. Store work means stocking, cashiering, deli and bakery counters, and receiving.

The 137 bus runs along Main Street from downtown to the upper Main Street supermarket, and the 131 serves Franklin Street in the Highlands. Melrose/Cedar Park station on the Haverhill Line is a walk from the Essex Street supermarket and the downtown shops.
