New Albertson’s Store in Las Vegas Sets New Standards for Kosher

Las Vegas…

A kosher bakery that churns out some 60 different breads, a meat department as big as that of a kosher butcher, a kosher Sushi department that will now offer the fare for the entire city, 20 freezer doors, a huge selection of Israeli products, fresh appetizers, a deli and soups, a huge assortment of kosher wines and all supervised by 3 mashgichim from the Orthodox Union (OU). The Kosher Marketplace is part of the newest Albertsons store on Bicentennial Drive in Henderson, just a short 15-minute ride from McCarran Airport and a stone’s throw from the Strip. The store opened with a great deal of fanfare on January 10th with the participation of many of the national kosher food purveyors. The accolades by both manufacturers and shoppers kept coming for Yakov M. Yarmove, Corporate Category Manager, Ethnic Marketing and Specialty Foods at Albertsons SuperValu, who now considers the Las Vegas store the new standard in his growing network of Kosher Marketplace stores. Brigitte Mizrachi from the California-based Anderson Cheese writes: “I can't believe what you did in the desert. You have your story now of transforming the desert into an oasis. In your case it goes from desert to treasured land of the most desired foods. It was a treat to feel the excitement of the crowds of Jewish and non-Jewish customers who came for the opening.”
