Correction

June 13, 2021

The June 9 article headlined “Donelan’s grocery stores purchased by Patel Brothers” incorrectly stated that the four Donelan’s Supermarkets were being sold to the national Patel Brothers Indian grocery chain. The stores are in fact being purchased by a family including father and son Gohal and Mohanbhai Patel, who own or have an interest in 10 convenience and food stores with various names in (eight in New Hampshire and on each in Maine and Massachusetts). 

The closest Patel store to Lincoln is in Pepperell, site of another former Domelan’s supermarket and now called Quality Market. The four recently purchased stores will retain the Donelan’s name — “the idea here is to continue with the tradition of Donelan’s as a family business,” said Alex Parra, attorney for the Patels.

The original article has been updated to reflect this correction and new information.
