The Dallas News reports that H-E-B has opened a new mini Central Market in Dallas, Texas.
The News says it looks “as if someone took the CM concept and squeezed it up and in: You’ll see most of the products found at the larger stores, but tighter stocks stacked high—a narrower trough of sweet potatoes, apples in a vertical display or a smaller selection of Milano’s cured meats.
“Incredibly, an on-site bakery is shoehorned in, with new features to include traditional boil and-bake bagels as well as the familiar, house-made flour tortillas. The deli will feature more New York deli-style dishes and NYC-based Charlito’s Cocina salami.
“Like a true urban market, not an inch of the 30,000 s.f. is wasted. A wine display hugs a support pillar. A tiny, high shelf runs the length of the dairy case, holding items such as CM Organics applesauce and loose tea. Even the shopping carts are smaller. The store is open 8 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, and you can wake up with the coffee bar at 7 a.m.”
