Lois' Natural Marketplace to open Portland store

The owners of Scarborough-based Lois’ Natural Marketplace will open a store on Portland’s India Street neighborhood next week.

The Forecaster reported that owners Lois and Dan Porta are planning to open the store at the corner of India and Middle streets on May 19. The Portas, who opened the Scarborough store more than 20 years ago, said they opened the second location because they wanted to have a stake in the neighborhood.

They said they don’t consider nearby natural markets like Rosemont Market and Bakery and the Portland Food Co-op as competitors, saying they each have their own mission and that they are all here “to support farmers and the community.”
