Miami-based Sedano’s Supermarkets opened its 35th store in Florida and its 10th location in Hialeah, the city where the storied retailer was founded in 1962, on Nov. 6.
With nearly 100 new employees, the 35,000-s.f. store located at 1170 West 49th Street introduces Sedano’s new look and a more spacious layout inclusive of an expansive Hot Food Station and Sandwich Bar with ample seating, the grocer says.
To commemorate the grand opening community and civic leaders including City of Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez joined Sedano’s CEO Agustín Herrán, COO José Herrán Jr. and CMO Javier Herrán in the symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony. The first 200 customers received a complimentary reusable branded grocery bag with a Sedano’s gift card ranging between $5-$200.
