“The city of Indio is honored to welcome Vallarta Supermarkets into the Indio business family,” Mayor Glenn Miller told Uken Report. “This 37,000-plus-square-foot specialty grocery store will also feature a full-service restaurant and bar. The Vallarta Supermarket is the exact type of shopping experience our residents are asking for and the City of Indio is attracting.

Some of the amenities are a bakery, fresh seafood, salsa bar, huge candy section and a full butcher shop, Miller said.

Indio is the home of the first Vallarta supermarket in Riverside County, Miller said.

Vallarta is a full-service grocery store with prepared foods, pizza oven, sushi bar, juice bar, dulceria, meat department, sports bar and restaurant, Brooke Beare, Director of Communications & Marketing for the city told Uken Report.

This market uses the shell of the old Marshalls and adjacent building at 42425 Jackson St. (Suites A &B). So, Vallarta essentially took the existing buildings, built out a pass through, and added on, with an indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar and patio, according to Beare.
