Vallarta Supermarkets, one of the largest Latino-owned supermarket chains in California, announced the grand opening of its 53rd store on Oct. 13 in Bakersfield, California. Mayor Karen Goh, local officials and dignitaries joined Vallarta Supermarket’s executive team for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, following public health guidelines, to mark the official grand opening.
The new store is located at 8200 Rosedale Hwy.
