The newly revamped Save A Lot in Auburn Gresham opens its doors, promising fresh produce and community involvement.
Fast forward nearly five years, and Nelson is checking out the newly reopened Save A Lot. It’s been completely revamped, and he’s calling it “reimagined.” The store opened its doors on a chilly January afternoon, and the first 100 customers got some cool giveaways.
Yellow Banana, the Ohio-based company behind the reopening, has already brought five other Save A Lot stores back to life in the area. They’ve been working hard to make these stores better, and the Auburn Gresham location is the last one to reopen. They’ve teamed up with local partners to make sure this store feels like it belongs to the community.
The store’s reopening was delayed a bit due to some unexpected issues, like finding major problems with the building’s foundation. But they’ve put in a lot of work to make it safe and welcoming. They even added new lights and security to make sure everyone feels secure while shopping.
As Nelson walks through the store, he’s impressed by the fresh produce. The community had a big say in what they wanted, and fresh fruits and veggies were at the top of the list. They’re even planning to work with local vendors to keep things fresh and local.
This new Save A Lot isn’t just about groceries; it’s about community. Nelson believes that when companies listen to the people, great things can happen. The store is part of a bigger effort to revitalize Auburn Gresham, with new housing and community projects popping up nearby.
In short, this new Save A Lot is a big deal for the neighborhood. It’s not just a grocery store; it’s a sign of hope and progress for the community. Nelson and others are excited to see how it can help lift the area and attract more investment.
