Savin Hill Supply, a gourmet grocer, has opened in Savin Hill, reports DailyCandy. Apparently, owner Kristine Hoag was "frustrated by the lack of one-stop gourmet shopping in her Dorchester hood", which, no duh. Savin Hill isn't especially upscale and we dare say Hoag's store is the first real sign of foodie/yuppie gentrification and it's not clear that most Savin Hill residents are clamoring for 10 year balsamic, liquid smoke, and quince paste. What do you think? Is Savin Hill supply just what the neighborhood's been waiting for or is the neighborhood not ready for it?
