the Fresco y Más banner by announcing its first official partnership
with The League Against Cancer (La Liga Contra el Cancer), an
organization that provides much-needed medical care for underserved
cancer patients in South Florida.
The first Fresco y Más location opened its doors on June 15, 2016 in

experience with products and services that meet the needs of the
community.
Today’s unveiling of seven new stores during ribbon cutting ceremonies

expanding the banner to 18 stores in its first year.
To support the historic partnership, all 18 Fresco y Más stores will be
hosting a Profit Day (see store for details), donating all profits
generated on June 14, 2017 to The League Against Cancer.
Ian McLeod, President and CEO of Southeastern Grocers, said,
“Since opening our doors in Hialeah one year ago, Fresco y Más has seen
fantastic success and support from customers in each community we now
operate in. The League Against Cancer is an organization our customers
have told us is important to them, so we are kicking off our first
official community partnership by hosting a Profit Day at all 18 of our
Fresco y Más stores, donating every last cent of profit to The League
Against Cancer.
“As Fresco y Más enters its second year we continue to be dedicated to
providing our customers with an authentic Hispanic shopping experience
and supporting organizations that provide invaluable services to the
communities we operate in.”
Adriana Cora, Vice President of The League Against Cancer, said, “Our
staff, patients and supports are humbled by the commitment Fresco y Más
is making with the first-ever donation of this kind in the
organization’s history. This new partnership will allow us to build on
the more than 60,000 men, women and children who will able to receive
world-class medical treatment, screenings and support from the League
Against Cancer.”
Fresco y Más’ new “Low Price every day” program includes more than 800
popular products that help shoppers save more on the quality items they
buy every day, and are easily found in store with distinctive green and
yellow arrow signage throughout the store. Prices will be at the same
low price for at least 6 months for savings our customers can count on.
More Savings! More Service! More for you!
