WinCo Foods will open its newest store on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 231 NE Terry Lane in Grants Pass, Oregon. The store is the company’s 105th location and is somewhat smaller than most traditionally sized WinCo stores, measuring approximately 72,000 s.f. WinCo says the store has a simple décor package that creates a solid, clean feel and keeps the focus on the variety of quality products and low prices.
Store manager Dareck Shannon comes to the store with 25 years of retail experience with WinCo and transfers to Grants Pass from Hillsboro, Oregon. The assistant managers are Cameran Jaskoviak and Daniel Horne, who are both experienced WinCo employees.
Shannon and his team say they are excited about the store opening and are particularly pleased with the quality and enthusiasm of the employees that were hired from the Grants Pass area. Eleven employees have transferred from other WinCo Foods stores and another 150 have been hired locally.
The store features WinCo’s “Wall of Values” at the entry, which includes special low pricing on variety of popular items. The main sales floor features large fresh produce and bulk foods departments together with meat, seafood, deli and bakery service departments. The bulk foods department displays more than 900 items, including many natural food products, some organics, snacks, candies, cereals, flours, pastas, spices and more.
Boise, Idaho-based WinCo Foods operates stores in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California, Oregon, Utah, Arizona and Texas.
