Fareway Meat & Grocery opened a new Fareway Meat Market on Ward Parkway in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City, Mo. The company said the 11,660-square-foot store replaces its existing location on 79th Street and Ward Parkway. The store has an expanded deli counter, a full-service butcher counter, a walk-up window for ready-to-order meals, specialty items, and fresh produce.

Why this matters: Because the store replaces an existing location, the opening represents a move and expanded format rather than a new Fareway location in the community. Its butcher, deli, prepared-meal, and produce offerings may be useful reference points for grocers evaluating services that fit a neighborhood store.
