The grocer will invest $90 million to build six new stores and create 1,350 jobs over the next five years. When the announcement was made last spring that the chain would open these new stores, the company said the stores are to open in two phases:
Phase I
- Hampton Cove
- North Memorial Parkway
- U.S. 72 East
Phase II
- Downtown Huntsville

- County Line Road
Developers broke ground on the Hampton Cove store — off US 431 and Taylor Lane — in July of last year.
