Here’s the SCOOP on the most popular SCOOPS to kick off 2026:
(And yes…we’ve got a little breaking update tucked inside 👀)
.
#5 Renovations at DORO Marketplace (300 West Main Street, AVON) are looking so good. The team is targeting a late March / early April opening and we are officially counting down the days until we get that first peek inside.
.
#4 Big news for DOM’S fans...The Town of Avon has approved plans for a playground next to Dom's Creamery. Because honestly…what pairs better than ice cream and a playground right in the heart of town?
.
#3 Lyme Bar & Grill at 136 Simsbury Road has officially been purchased and is being reimagined as Morgan House Tavern. A classic neighborhood tavern vibe is coming to Riverdale Farms with a mid-March grand opening planned. Classic American fare, lots of TVs for sports fans, thoughtful interior updates, and community-rooted energy.
.
#2 Big shift behind DORO...Progression Brewing Co. Bar & Kitchen is taking over the former Tri It Tap Room space at 300 West Main Street. This will be Progression’s second location (their original brewery is in Northampton, MA) and their first in Connecticut. An early Spring opening is anticipated.
.
#1 Jefferson Fry is coming to AVON...Jefferson Fry will be taking over the former Five Guys space at 255 West Main Street in the Walmart Plaza. And here’s the ‼️ Breaking Scoop ‼️ This is officially a move...Jefferson Fry will be relocating from The Shops at Farmington Valley to this new Avon space, with a late Spring transition expected.
.
So much movement. So many openings. Which one are you most excited about? 👇

🚨 SCOOP ALERT 🚨
.
Something seriously unique is coming to the Farmington Valley… and it’s not your average after-school activity.
.
Spy Farm is planning to open in Spring 2026 at 9 Eastview Drive in FARMINGTON, sharing space with Nutmeg TV.
.
Spy Farm’s mission? Training the next generation for whatever life throws at them. Each class blends cognitive and physical modules, giving students a hands-on, minds-on experience unlike anything else in the area.
.
Students will dive into skills like electronics, computer security, hacking, and analytics, while also practicing escape tactics, self-defense, and real-world problem solving. It’s the perfect mix of knowledge and action.
.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this one 👀 Stay tuned as Spy Farm gets closer to opening!

🚨 SCOOP ALERT 🚨

UPDATE- Great news! Applegate Farm has been granted an extension in their lease and they will be open into the spring!!!

A bittersweet update from one of Canton’s longtime favorites, Applegate Farm Market. Their building has been sold and their lease will end at the close of this year.

Don’t worry…they will remain open through November 30 (closed Thanksgiving and Black Friday), so there’s still time to grab your favorite pies, cider donuts, and all the goodies we love.

The good news? Applegate Farms has a plan in the works for a new chapter (and yes, their famous apple cider donuts and CSA program will definitely be part of it!).

Stay tuned for what’s next. In the meantime, stop by to show your support and stock up one more time.
