This summer marks a milestone in Seabrookâs growth with the completion of a $20 million town expansion. Exciting new amenities and merchants take our coastal town to new heights for both locals and visitors. From the opening of Fresh Foods Market, to a new heated outdoor pool and fitness center, several new hiking and biking trails, as well as Seabrookâs largest park to date in its newest Fernwood Neighborhood, Seabrook is excited to show off all it has to offer.
âThe addition of a new grocery store and several new businesses will only enhance the homeowner and guest experience!â says town co-founder, Casey Roloff. âThis is a monumental accomplishment for the entire Seabrook team and our local community that supports us.â
Welcoming New & Expanded Merchant Spaces
A crowd with eager smiles lined Market Street in June for the highly-anticipated grand opening of the full-service Fresh Foods Market. Once the doors opened, shoppers were welcomed inside to browse the 13,000 square foot space, stocked with a huge selection of items including fresh produce, meats, seafood, beer, wine and liquor, ready-to-eat meals, gluten-free products, fresh flowers, sundries, and much more.
âSeabrook is like a puzzle,â says Robyn Roloff, Caseyâs mother, at the Fresh Foods Market opening. âEach piece that is added makes a new and better picture than before.â
Locals and visitors alike can enjoy the convenience of having a fully stocked grocery store offering affordable pricing right in the center of town. Expanded daily hours make shopping a breeze, whether for the week or for the night.
âThe grocery store is an absolute game changer for our town,â says Casey. âItâs the anchor to our entire town center.â

Welcoming The Next Phase
New Town Additions On The Way
All of the excitement around the $20 million expansion completion is getting the Seabrook team even more excited about what is to come.
âWeâre only halfway done with our town center, this is only the beginning,â Casey says. âOver the next three to four years we expect to have our entire vision fulfilled with the completion of the town center, we are going to be laser-focused on completing these next two blocks.â
This summer, Seabrook broke ground on Pacific Landing, which includes townhouses, condos, live-work spaces, new shops, and an oceanfront restaurant. The last block that is set to complete the town center is the Northwest Block. The Northwest Block is still in its design phase, though the concepts include attractive architecture with possibilities of expansive bay windows, balconies, rooftop decks, townhouses, a small inn, and additional mixed-use buildings.
