EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market here said yesterday it plans to introduce 250 new own-brand items to its stores over the next three months to cater to increasing customer demand. New products will include fresh-prepared ready meals, new juices and brewed teas, soy and goat yogurt and a range of ready-to-grill meats, the company said.
