Marshfield selectmen had a decision to make. The town had one available beer and wine license, and two supermarkets – Roche Bros. and Star Market – competing for it. “It was a very difficult decision,” Selectmen Chairman Stephen Robbin said. “We have two great businesses in town, and they both employ a lot of people. And we always want to see our businesses flourish, but we only had one license to give.” (Read the full story here.)
