Inspectors say the asbestos was contained in a sealed stockroom and posed no risk to shoppers. The Star Market perched above the Massachusetts Turnpike reopened Friday, three days after health officials abruptly shut it down due to an asbestos scare. In a statement, the Newton Health and Human Services Department said it initially closed the grocery store at 33 Austin St. after the Mass DEP notified them that demolition work in a stockroom may have released asbestos into the building.

Trader Joe's has announced the opening of another store in Greater Boston, located at 1165 Needham St. in Newton, just three miles from the West Newton location.
