Ahold USA announces grand opening of new concept store
Ahold USA will hold a grand opening of its first ever bfresh market on Friday, Sept. 18 in Allston, MA.
The owners of Stop & Shop, Giant Food Stores, Martin’s Food Markets, and Peapod, unveiled the new, urban-scale grocery store at a community preview last week. The new 10,000-square-foot space puts a strong emphasis on fresh produce and cuts back on the dry goods section. It’s wide assortment of take-out style cuisine appeals to neighborhood college students, and its layout is much smaller than a traditional supermarket.
“This is really designed to be a full shop for people with an emphasis on fresh,” bfresh spokesperson Suzi Robinson told The Boston Globe. “[People] want to have fresher choices. It’s been an ongoing trend for some time.”
Bfresh will target foodies who value “fresh, healthy options and pricing that doesn’t break the bank,” according to company officials. The new store will also feature prepared foods in its Little Kitchen, which brings fresh, scratch-made seasonal meals into the store.
Bfresh hours will be Sunday-Thursday, 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Friday-Saturday, 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
