<p>Sendik’s Food Markets is bringing its warm, welcoming atmosphere to a new area…and this time, they’re moving farther west! The family owned and operated retailer has now opened its <B>12th store in Hartland, Wisconsin</b>. The new <B>30,000 square-foot-store</b> is located at 600 Hartbrook Drive, formerly known as Hartbrook Mall and now called Sendik’s Hartland Plaza, according to Milwaukee Business Journal.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img class="small-cropped-image" src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacySmallCroppedImages/store1.jpg" alt="cropped_image_051614" />Sendik’s is unlike any other grocery store you may have seen before. With carpeted floors and display islands for individual produce categories like stone fruit, any hungry shopper would be happy to return for another visit any day of the week. <B>This retailer goes the extra mile to represent its suppliers</b>. Grapes aren’t just sold as grapes, they’re Castle Rock Reds. And a sweet potato isn’t just a sweet potato, it’s a Bako Sweet from Bakersfield, California with a history and a family behind it.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">“We frequently hear from customers who would like Sendik’s to join their community,” said Ted Balistreri, one of the family co-owners of Sendik’s.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img class="small-cropped-image" src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacySmallCroppedImages/store2.jpg" alt="cropped_image_051614" />Last year, our very own Sarah Hoxie had a great opportunity to speak with Patrick Balistreri, another co-owner of the family retailer, to discuss the reason why suppliers rave over the company’s format, and what makes the business so unique. <B>Check out the video interview below!</b> </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><iframe width="480" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SSsZ2Z_Vgt4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>“The 100 new associates who have joined our team in Hartland are ready and delighted to bring the <B>best grocery experience</b>, period, to Lake Country,” said Ted Balistreri.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">This is one down-to-earth store no Milwaukee shopper should miss out on.
