Southern California-based Vallarta Supermarkets plans to open a new store in Glendale, Arizona in early 2026, marking its first entry into the state.
Headquartered in Santa Clarita, California, Vallarta has been operating for 40 years, primarily serving California's Latino customer base with over 70 stores.
“We came to make a presence here, not for just one store,”
Cesar Gonzalez, Vallarta's chief operating officer, stated that the company aims to open 10 to 15 stores in Arizona within the next 5 to 10 years.
