Fresh & Easy now in Fresno!

We’re excited to share that yesterday we opened our first stores in Fresno, CA with the help of Mayor Ashley Swearengin, Councilmembers Mike Dages, Andreas Borgeas, Larry Westerlund and Blong Xiong, Congressman Jim Costa and Marlene Murphey from the Fresno Redevelopment Agency. We opened our doors in Fresno at Cedar & Nees, downtown at Tulare & R, and in Clovis at Shaw & Willow and were happy to meet our new neighbors. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!



Check out a video of the Mayor’s speech at the grand opening of the downtown Fresno location.



There was such a great positive response from our new neighbors in Fresno that we thought we’d pass along what they’re saying about their new neighborhood market.

Fresno bound at fresh&easy

Last week, we held an event at our Downtown Fresno store to announce the opening dates for our first few stores in the Fresno area.

-- Lemoore & Cinnamon, Lemoore: December 2nd
-- Tulare & R, Fresno: January 13th
-- Cedar & Nees, Fresno: January 13th
-- Shaw & Willow, Clovis: January 13th

The outpouring of support from the community and city government in Fresno was a great indication of what lies ahead for Fresh & Easy. A big thank you to Fresno City Council President Cynthia Sterling, City Council Member Lee Brand and Redevelopment Agency Exec Director Marlene Murphey who were on hand to speak.



With these six stores we are proud to be creating 125 more good paying, quality jobs with comprehensive benefits. If you are interested in joining our team, job listings and the application process are posted here.
