An overview of Fresh & Easy’s new-look store reflects the company’s new approach, with a dining area carved out for shoppers to enjoy items from the hot foods bar, plus a variety of prepared foods that can be eaten in the store or taken home, and an extensive beverage bar.

The new Fresh & Easy stores have a Fresh to Go island in the center of the store offering made-to-order pizzas and paninis; a soup bar; and a variety of private-branded heat-and-eat selections for in-store or at-home dining.

Fresh & Easy’s “smarter” store features a small pizza oven at the Fresh to Go counter in the middle of the store, offering made-to-order pizzas — either individual 6-inch pies or 16-inch family-sized varieties — plus a panini machine back-to-back with the pizza oven for made-to-order hot sandwiches.

Think of a drink — and Fresh & Easy probably offers it at the new in-store beverage bar, which features coffee, lattes, espresso, cappuccino, cocoa, hot teas, iced tea, self-service smoothies and an assortment of soft drinks. The beverage bar is adjacent to the store’s Fresh to Go counter.

Besides a regular baked goods counter, the remodeled Fresh & Easy stores in Las Vegas have a fixture at the front of the store with grab-and-go baked items, including a variety of pastries in a self-service case and Fresh & Easy-brand boxed offerings.

The stores have packaged meat and seafood items in the “Land & Sea” section, adjacent to the “Farmers Market” produce section, which features packaged products in refrigerated cases along the wall plus bulk products on island displays (in contrast to the packaged-produce-only approach the stores had under their previous ownership by Tesco).
