The test store in Chicago is meant for quick fill-in grocery runs and aims to reduce the number of retailers shoppers have to visit to complete shopping trips.
The retailer announced Thursday that its turkey-centered promotion is intended to serve eight people, down from the 10 people it originally said the basket of foods was designed for.
Just under 60% of shoppers surveyed by the discounter knew it was a grocer. New branding featuring some clever wordplay aims to change that.
The discounter plans to run the location as a test-and-learn facility in hopes of launching more Hispanic grocery specific locations in partnership with Leevers Supermarkets.
