First phase of conversion complete; four stores reopened at 8 a.m. today
Richmond, VA – The first four former Ukrop’s Super Markets reopened under the MARTIN’S banner this morning at 8:00 a.m. The stores located at 3107 15 Boulevard, Colonial Heights; 10150 Brook Road, Glen Allen; 3460 Pump Road, Richmond and 4660 Monticello Avenue, Williamsburg were closed for the past week as each store underwent a multi-million dollar remodel and update of amenities.
“We are excited to finally introduce the MARTIN’S shopping experience to the community,” said Jim Scanlon, regional vice president. “There are plenty of exciting new features combined with old favorites, providing a greater assortment of products and savings in every aisle of the store.”
Beginning today, the four new MARTIN’S are open on Sundays. MARTIN’S has also hired 3,600 associates from Ukrop’s to provide customers with the same friendly faces and high level of customer service they have come to expect while shopping. They will be available to continue the tradition of carrying groceries to shoppers’ cars. “Associates will automatically carry our customers’ groceries to their cars,” said Scanlon. “In fact, we’ve purchased brand-new carry-out carts for our associates to use along with brandnew carts for our customers.”
