After nearly a year of construction, the Vons at Colorado Boulevard and Sierra Madre Boulevard has now reopened, bring nearly 150 new jobs to the local community. During a grand opening celebration yesterday at 3pm, visitors to the market enjoyed a wine tasting following a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Proceeds from the wine tasting went to The City of Hope.
The new store features 20,000 more square feet of space than the old store, allowing for more products to be carried and more customers to browse the store. The store also has free wifi, as well as a Starbucks and dry cleaners. Specifically, improvements have been made to the store’s seafood, meat, deli, floral, bakery and even pharmacy, a spokesperson for the company said.
The store is now open for new customers across the San Gabriel Valley.
