Fresh & Easy will present a donation to a local non-profit organization as part of the opening. Several weeks ago, the company invited anyone in the neighborhood to visit its website (www.freshandeasy.com/goodneighbor) to nominate a charitable group to receive a $1,000 donation. The store’s new employees will vote on submissions and choose the winner to be named at the opening day celebration.
“We can’t wait to open. We’ve been working hard to get the store ready and we are looking forward to everyone coming in to say hello,” said Willie Carroll, store manager. “We have some great offers on a few of our products and we’ll be giving away reusable bags on opening day. Once people try our great food at prices that fit any budget, they’ll get why Fresh & Easy is starting to change the way people shop.”

The company provides the opportunity for all employees to work at least 20 hours a week, which entitles them to comprehensive healthcare and competitive benefits. Entry-level positions will pay well over the minimum wage, starting at $10 an hour in California, with a potential quarterly bonus of up to 10%.
