I’m about ten years younger, but I remember Fun Time as being the place where all the cool kids hung out. That was my favorite place in the Billerica Mall.

I’m 47 and grew up in Billerica. Fun Time was my #1 hangout growing up. I don’t remember if it was A&P when it opened either.

I don’t personally remember the A&P being in the Billerica Mall, but articles leading up to the mall’s opening and some advertisements published soon after suggest that it was there briefly before Demoulas/Market Basket moved in. I’ll add one of the ads to the post. I’ll keep looking into this.

One small correction. I believe that the A&P store was not located in the Billerica Mall. It opened in the the smaller mall, known as
“O’Connor’s Plaza.”
