Description
The Barcelos Bros Superette was located at 185 Lawrence Street in Lawrence, MA. The store was originally opened by two brothers: Joseph R. and Carlos M. Barcelos. The Barcelos brothers immigrated to the United States from the Azores and opened this store in 1961.
Eventually, the brothers expanded to two more locations in Andover (68 Main Street) and Methuen (corner of Jackson and Swan Streets). Two of their younger brothers, John A. Barcelos and George M. Barcelos, joined in the business with their older brothers.
The Andover location was closed in the 1980s and the two remaining locations closed in 1998.
