Grand opening TODAY for Metro Acres Market on 1st Avenue and 5th Street

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy

Metro Acres Market is hosting a grand-opening party today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the SW corner of First Avenue at Fifth Street. (You may have noticed the flags.) 

There will be giveaways too, like flat-screen TVs, microwaves and air fryers, per ownership ... whom we caught up with the other day...
According to management, the new grocery will feature a deli counter, salad bar and a chef-driven hot buffet with a rotating selection of prepared foods. The store will also include a "Fresh to Go" section with handmade and grab-and-go items, as well as a full-service meat department.
 
Metro Acres says the prepared foods and other offerings will be made fresh daily on the premises. 

Here's a look inside, as of yesterday afternoon... (with a promising vegetarian section)...
The Rite Aid at this corner closed last August.
