After being closed for three years, a popular local market is finally re-opening.
A wind storm back in 2021 caused major damage to the La Bonita Supermarket at Eastern and Desert Inn, but they are now welcoming back their loyal customers and staff.
Channel 13’s Abel Garcia stopped by to get a tour and find out how this store could mean so much to the community.
Once again, barcodes are being scanned, aguas frescas are being poured, and fresh tortillas are being made.
La Bonita Supermarket #4 is officially reopened.
“I’m very happy. That’s a plus for the neighborhood,” said Jafar Shamim.
After being closed for almost three years, staff and customers like Shamim got a big welcome back. Shamim lives just four minutes away, and said he’s been eagerly awaiting for this day.
“It is convenient for people who live around here. We don’t have to go to Rainbow or Henderson or other places,” he said.
The store, located near Desert Inn and Eastern, had to close after the front of the building collapsed due to high winds back in August of 2021.
