Hannaford adds new store, completes upgrades at eight existing locations during second half of 2022

 

Store updates aimed at enhancing customer convenience and result in $34,000 in donations to local community organizations

 

SCARBOROUGH, Maine– During the final six months of 2022, Hannaford Supermarkets continued to enhance the overall shopping experience for customers by welcoming the addition of a new store in its New York footprint and completing upgrades at a total of eight existing stores.

 

The highlight of the latter half of the year occurred in September with the grand opening of the brand’s 185th store in Brunswick, N.Y. The 49,000-square-foot store includes a variety of features designed to create a convenient shopping experience, including an expansive hot and cold foods bar; a wide selection of grab-and-go meals; Hannaford To Go online ordering and delivery; and a full-service pharmacy with drive-thru.

 

The eight store remodels completed between July and December complement activity during the first half of the year – resulting in 14 total Hannaford store remodels in 2022. This work, alongside other development projects, focused on customer convenience, including the addition of 83 self-checkout kiosks. Additionally, a total of 50 energy initiatives were completed to enhance the environmental sustainability of store operations.

 

“These projects support Hannaford’s commitment to delivering dependable value; fresh, high-quality food; and exceptional service to our customers,” said Hannaford Supermarkets Vice President of Retail Operations, Western Division Andrea Nickerson. “We thank the many associates involved in bringing these projects to life, and look forward to continuing to enhance the shopping experience of our customers in 2023.”
