Duarte Secures Major Win with New Vallarta Supermarket

The City of Duarte has officially landed a highly anticipated new retail partner.

Vallarta Supermarkets, a rapidly growing grocery chain, has signed a lease to open a new store in the community.

The store will take over the large, 46,000-square-foot building formerly occupied by Best Buy at 1470 Mountain Avenue.

This move represents a major victory for local economic development efforts.

City officials have long cited the need for new grocery store options as a top priority for residents.

The arrival of the City of Duarte Vallarta Supermarket finally brings that long-standing goal to fruition.

Preparing the massive space is a significant undertaking, with work expected to last several months before the grand opening.

The transformation of a dormant retail space into a vibrant market is being hailed as great news for the entire community.

This new location is part of Vallarta's aggressive expansion across Southern California, with other stores recently opening or planned for cities like Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and Upland.

The decision to invest in Duarte signals strong confidence in the local economy and its future growth.

For many residents, this is an eagerly awaited addition to the San Gabriel Valley retail landscape.
