The former Kroger in Brookhaven which closed this past October will this fall welcome a new tenant. Compare Foods, a new-to-Atlanta grocer, is to open in place of the former Kroger this coming September, according to sources familiar with the company's plans.
ToNeTo Atlanta was first made aware of Compare's plans in Brookhaven this past February, but only recently was the (sub)lease with Kroger finalized, according to a source familiar with the transaction.
The Compare Foods banner is owned by Associated Supermarket Group (ASG) of Port Washington, New York. The store focuses on grocery items catering to the Hispanic community.
According to the Compare Foods website:
"Compare Foods Rooted in Hispanic tradition, Compare Foods serves the diverse grocery needs of customers from across Latin America. Independently owned and operated, Compare Foods and Compare Fresh have locations in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, and North Carolina. They offer a wide selection of Hispanic and ethnic food products, fresh produce, quality meats, and mainstream essentials—all at competitive prices."
The new Compare Foods joins a relatively crowded Hispanic-oriented grocery market in the area including Talpa Supermarkets at Plaza Fiesta and City Farmers Market at Northeast Plaza in addition to an Aldi, too.
Pending permits, hiring, and other variables, plans call for Compare Foods in Brookhaven to open as soon as September.
