What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Edgewood Market was a family-owned grocery, deli, and pizza counter in the Edgewood section of Cranston, Rhode Island, known among regulars for its steak sandwiches, Italian grinders, and pizza. The business traced its roots to 1958, when it began as a small grocery called Armand's before growing into a full deli and market near the Johnson & Wales Harborside campus. According to GoLocalProv, the market's owners posted on social media that they were retiring and would close the shop on May 1, thanking customers for decades of patronage. A Yelp listing for the business, updated September 2026, marks it as permanently closed at its Narragansett Boulevard address. No current website or ordering page for Edgewood Market could be found during this check.
