As featured in The Shelby Report
Vallarta Supermarkets is excited to announce the grand opening of its second Modesto location on August 27, located at 2401 E. Orangeburg Ave. This new store builds on the strong community response to our first Modesto location, which opened earlier this year at 3900 Pelandale Ave. and created 227 jobs.
Our newest store will add 194 more jobs to the Modesto community while introducing a refreshed in-store design and expanded features. The layout offers open views into many departments, giving customers the chance to watch the food-making process — from masa prepared in traditional nixtamal tanks to custom cake decorating and fresh ceviche preparation.
The modern store design is infused with colorful, textured finishes that reflect Mexican and Latin food culture, creating an inviting space where shoppers can explore, discover, and enjoy.
