Southeastern Grocers, parent company of BI-LO, Fresco y Más, Harveys and Winn-Dixie stores, has unveiled five new Fresco y Más stores throughout Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County.
By listening to customers throughout their communities, the company has tailored each new Fresco y Más to provide an authentic Hispanic grocery store, with expanded product assortments, better value and a cleaner, more enjoyable shopping experience.
“The overwhelming positive response we received from our first Fresco y Más store in Hialeah gave us the motivation to open additional Fresco y Más stores to bring more savings to more communities,” says Ian McLeod, president and CEO of Southeastern Grocers. “We have been listening to our Fresco y Más customers in Hialeah and have tailored additional stores to reflect our customer’s personality, while providing great value, great prices and great service.
“Each Fresco y Más store features a wider array of Hispanic items our customers told us is important to them - an expanded product assortment, great low prices and new features, including a full-service Latin Butcher shop and new Cocina,” adds Ian McLeod.
The stores are focused on delivering lower, everyday pricing as well as exciting special promotions on the items customers buy most, from fresh produce and high quality meats, to expanded local Hispanic products and new store features, allowing families to enjoy authentic, quality food for less on more than 3,000 products throughout the store.
Shoppers will immediately notice the enhancements throughout the new Fresco y Más stores, including:
An all-new, full-service Latin butcher shop (Carniceria) offering an expanded selection of fresh, custom cut meats to better serve our customers.
Refreshed produce department featuring a farmer’s market setting with a wider selection of tropical fruits.
A new “Cocina” (kitchen) offering daily specials of freshly prepared family favorites made from scratch.
New Dollar Zone within the store, where customers can get over 600 everyday essentials for just $1, from grocery and cleaning to health and beauty.
Renovated bakery department offering an expanded selection of Hispanic pastries and local baked goods, including flan, tres leches, croquettes, and custom tres leches cakes, made fresh daily, as well as a wider selection of local favorites.
An all-new café with expanded seating area serving authentic Hispanic breakfast, pastries, drinks and hot and cold sandwiches.
An additional Wall of Value section featuring weekly specials on popular items customers purchase most.
More than 500 new Hispanic items available across several departments.
A new custom façade and vibrant yellow colors with bi-lingual signage throughout the store.
