“We aim to create a destination,” said Tina Lee, Chief Executive Officer. “It’s a place for discovery, innovation, and bringing people together through food. We want to evolve our grocery store beyond the functional—we want to be the place where people want to go, not just need to go. We can’t wait to share that with the people of the Bay Area. San Jose is a very special place to me.”

The new 55,000-square-foot store, located at the intersection of Saratoga Avenue and Prospect Road, will occupy the former Walmart site. A full-service unique shopping experience, the chain is known for a vast selection of fresh produce, authentic Asian products, full-service meat counter, and more standout features.
