New grocery opens today in Newbury Park

Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market announced it will open the doors at its Newbury Park store at 10 a.m. today, Nov. 13, at Wendy Drive and Old Conejo Road. Everyone is invited to attend the kickoff event for the store's 5-day grand opening celebration.

Fresh & Easy will present a donation to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), a local nonprofit, as part of the opening. Also, local elected officials are expected for the store's ceremonial ribbon-cutting.

At roughly 10,000 square feet, the store will be smaller than the typical supermarket to give customers a faster, easier shopping experience. In addition to offering a range of Fresh & Easy private label and national brand name products at low prices, Fresh & Easy will also offer customers a selection of fresh, prepared meals.

The company is opening stores throughout Southern California, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
