SpartanNash celebrates fifth Supermercado Nuestra Familia, expands banner to Topeka

Food solutions company SpartanNash, a member of the C&S Wholesale Grocers family of companies, recently celebrated the grand opening of its fifth Supermercado Nuestra Familia location, expanding the retail banner into Topeka, KS. Opening just in time for holiday grocery shopping, the 50,000-square-foot store brings Hispanic flavors and culture to the Highland Crest, Central Highland Park, Oakland and other neighborhoods in southeast Topeka.

“Our Supermercado Nuestra Familia banner is an exciting part of our portfolio of nearly 200 retail stores in 11 states, and we’re proud to serve the Topeka community with fresh and authentic food solutions,” said Jay Mahabir, vice president of retail operations for SpartanNash. “Whether you’re looking for specific ingredients and flavors or experimenting with new tastes, be sure to visit our newest location to see what’s in store.”

The Topeka Supermercado Nuestra Familia, located at 2021 SE 29th Street, offers a vibrant, market-style shopping experience featuring:

  • A full-service tortillería offering fresh, daily-made corn and flour tortillas
  • An expanded bakery selection with tres leches cakes, gelatins, flans and other traditional favorites
  • A broad assortment of authentic Hispanic produce, meat, grocery and dairy products
  • An abundant selection of fresh fruits, vegetables and dried chiles and spices
  • Aguas frescas and horchata prepared daily
  • Convenient fresh-cut produce options
  • A full-service carnicería with expertly trimmed meats
  • Fresh cheeses, creams, hams and hot deli staples such as tamales, enchiladas, beans and rice

“Our new store is a true reflection of Topeka’s vibrant Hispanic community, honoring its tastes and traditions,” Store Director Joaquin Castillo said. “We’re excited to welcome shoppers with exceptional service from our associates, an outstanding selection of authentic Hispanic grocery favorites and a one-stop shop for all your grocery staples.”

The grand opening celebration featured a live mariachi performance, a local dance group, children’s activities, product sampling and giveaways. As part of the festivities, the store team presented a $5,000 donation to Highland Park High School, reinforcing SpartanNash’s commitment to education and community development.

Later this month, SpartanNash will celebrate the grand opening of its sixth Supermercado Nuestra Familia, introducing a smaller-format, convenience-focused grocery experience in Omaha, NE, as part of its growing portfolio of stores designed to deliver the ingredients for a better life.

Serving communities since 2013, Supermercado Nuestra Familia focuses on quality, convenience and community, offering an abundant assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables and dried chiles and spices.
