Stillman Quality Meats to open Worcester nose-to-tail butcher shop offering custom cuts of meat6/27/2018
For Kate Stillman, making the two-hour drive to Boston Public Market to sell cuts of meat from the grass-fed animals she raises at her Hardwick livestock farm had become too much.
The owner of Stillman Quality Meats made the realization during the winter. She wanted to spend more time on the farm with her animals, and her 4- and 10-year-old children. It was about that time that Stillman said she was starting to hear everyone talk about Worcester. "You really need to drive through Worcester," people told her. Stillman said she would usually hop on the Massachusetts Turnpike and avoid Worcester, but she decided to check it out. "On a whim one day, I looked, just to what there was for commercial real estate," Stillman said in an interview. "I literally landed in the parking lot outside of Birchtree Bread...I was floored at sort of the vibe that was going on there." Developer Ed Murphy showed Stillman a space on Harding Street. Stillman started to float the idea to her customers: Would you shop at a brick-and-mortar in Worcester? The response: "We would love to find you in Worcester." Stillman said it was good timing. And the timing is fast, as she is planning to open her Canal District Butcher shop in mid-August.

Maddi's Cookery and TapHouse, will offer a range of homemade dishes, including fresh salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, fish and chips and rotating specials. Maddi's will also have an approachable and affordable wine list and 20 craft beers on draught. The name is a combination of Hick's children's names: Matthew, 9, and Addison, 2. The location was formerly home to The Perfect Game. Maddi's, at 64 Water St., is expected to open in early spring.

Called Pageboy Hair Studio Inc., the salon will have six stations and feature an industrial-style design with concrete floors, Murphy said.

"He's going to bring people from his Milford location who want to come out and try this which brings new people to the Canal District."

64 Water St. was the home of Perfect Game, a popular bar catering to the sports and boneless wing crowd. The bar closed in September. Days after Perfect Game closed, Murphy, who already owned 64 Water St., purchased Bucky's auto garage right next door, on 56 Water St. Murphy is already renovating the empty buildings and shopping around for new tenants to move in and revitalize the block. His developments in Worcester have been a driver for the renaissance of dining and development occurring in downtown.
