Grocery stores were selling rotissiere chickens way before Boston Market.

No they weren't, it didn't kick off till after Boston Market popularized it....... and I've been shopping for myself for more than three decades..... never saw any at ShopRite or Pathmark

Well kids, back in the early ‘90s, Boston Market (then Boston Chicken) started serving up rotisserie chickens as on-the-go “convenience” meals — and sales went through the roof.

Grocery chains started catching on to the craze: by ‘94, Costco and Kroger were on the chicken train, and by ‘98, Safeway, Albertsons, and many others came aboard.
Costco, the undisputed king of rotisserie chickens (they sold 87m of them last year, or 14% of the entire market) is throwing down $300m to build their own poultry processing plant so they can knock out the middle-chicken.
