A new 25,000-square-foot replacement Save-On-Foods grocery store has opened its doors to the public in Kimberley on Thursday.
Save-On-Foods said the new building, located on 1545 Warren Avenue, has a number of new features and innovations. The new features include a new meat and seafood department with a wide selection, a “grab ‘n go” kitchen with ready to eat meals, and a new bakery with stock baked in-store.
“My team has been working so hard to get our new store ready for business,” said Stephanie Ames, Kimberley store manager. “We’ve been a part of the community in Kimberley since 1957 and have been going the extra mile for our customers for decades. We are so excited to bring a fresh, new grocery shopping experience to this city.”
Save-On-Foods said its grand opening celebrations start on Thursday, February 4th, and will continue all weekend. Starting on opening day, one customer will be randomly chosen at check-out each day to win their groceries for free until Saturday, February 13th.
The store will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be investing in this brand-new store for our customers in Kimberley, filled with innovative and exciting offerings,” said Darrell Jones, Save-On-Foods president. “I started my career almost 45 years ago as a bag boy in Cranbrook only a short drive away and I have a special appreciation for our small-town communities in B.C. We have been a part of this Kootenay community for more than 60 years and we can’t wait to go the extra mile for 60 more!”
