Heritage Grocers Group, an Ontario, Calif.-based Hispanic food retailer, is expanding its Las Vegas footprint with a new Cardenas Markets location slated to open Dec. 6.
The new Cardenas Markets marks the banner’s 58th store location and brings Heritage Grocers Group's total store count to 115 locations in six states.
Located at 4015 S. Buffalo Dr. in Las Vegas, the newest Cardenas Markets store is approximately 40,000 square feet.
“The Heritage team is excited to expand its presence in the Las Vegas market with the opening of our 58th Cardenas Markets location,” Doug Sanders, chairman and CEO of Heritage Grocers Group, said in a news release. “We strive to deliver an exceptional shopping experience where our customers will find a wide assortment of fresh and authentic products reflective of the local community.”
The new store’s focus on fresh includes a colorful produce department featuring an array of perfectly ripe, seasonal fruits and vegetables from the U.S. and Latin America at affordable prices, the release said.
A full-service meat and seafood department, a bakery and an authentic “Mexican Cocina,” where customers can find carnitas, tamales, taquería classics and daily deal options, are also in-store.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Dec. 6 at 8 a.m. in the parking lot of the new store and will include remarks from local dignitaries, performances by Spring Valley High School band and cheerleaders in addition to live mariachis, the release said.
Immediately following the ribbon cutting ceremony, product giveaways and face painting will also take place in the parking lot, and the first 100 customers to enter the store will receive a $50 Cardenas Markets gift card, the release said.
