SAN JOSE \u2014 Vallarta Supermarkets could hire as many as 200 workers at its new South San Jose store, which is set to open before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Marking the Mexican grocery chain\u2019s first foray into the Bay Area, workers were busy preparing the interior of the Vallarta Supermarkets building<\/a> at 2179 Monterey Road this week ahead of its opening.<\/p>\n

The family-owned grocery store chain<\/a> operates 66 stores \u2013 65 in California and one in Arizona. It is currently hiring people to work at the new San Jose store, according to the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company employs approximately 8,000 employees, with up to 200 new positions for the San Jose store,\u201d according to a document on file at San Jose City Hall.<\/p>\n

Vallarta Supermarkets leased 63,700 square feet in The Plant shopping center near the corner of Monterey Road and Curtner Avenue, taking over a former Toys \u2018R Us store that closed several years ago.<\/p>\n

The new store will be a full-service supermarket, according to a San Jose planning document, offering traditional foods and items native to Mexico.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed supermarket will include a large produce section, a full-service butcher counter, an on-site bakery and tortilleria, and a selection of sundries, cleansers and pre-packaged items,\u201d city documents state.<\/p>\n

The San Jose store is part of a significant expansion push by Vallarta Supermarkets.<\/p>\n

\u201cVallarta Supermarkets intends to positively impact 100 communities by the year 2030,\u201d according to city planning files. \u201cThat means opening new stores at a rate of three locations per year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new supermarket\u2019s location is expected to generate plenty of foot traffic at The Plant, according to the owners of the shopping and restaurant center.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts strategic placement between Target and Home Depot is expected to attract a significant flow of customers, further boosting the revitalization of The Plant,\u201d Arc Capital and Milan Capital, the center\u2019s owners, stated.<\/p>\n
