SpartanNash will open its first Kansas Supermercado Nuestra Familia in Topeka this November, bringing Hispanic grocery traditions to local shoppers. The 50,000-square-foot store will deliver fresh produce, specialty foods, and cultural flavors under the company’s growing Hispanic-focused retail banner.
SpartanNash said the new Supermercado Nuestra Familia will anchor southeast Topeka at the corner of 29th Street and California Avenue. It will serve neighborhoods including Highland Crest, Central Highland Park, and Oakland.
This location becomes the fifth store under the banner and the first outside Nebraska, following the company’s most recent opening in Omaha in April 2025. SpartanNash leaders said the expansion reflects the company’s strategy to meet growing demand for Hispanic grocery options in underserved markets.
Supermercado Nuestra Familia Focus on Freshness and Tradition
Inside the new Supermercado Nuestra Familia, shoppers will find an extensive produce section featuring fresh fruits, vegetables, dried chiles, and spices. The store will also offer aguas frescas, horchata, and hand-cut fruit.
The full-service carniceria will slice meats fresh daily. Shoppers can purchase tres leches cakes, gelatins, and flans from the bakery, while the cocina will feature tamales, enchiladas, beans, rice, cheeses, and creams.
A dedicated tortilleria will produce fresh corn and flour tortillas, giving customers authentic staples made in-house. Alongside cultural favorites, the store will carry everyday grocery essentials, making it a convenient one-stop shop.

SpartanNash operates nearly 200 grocery stores under banners including Family Fare, Martin’s Super Markets, and D&W Fresh Market. Its retail operations complement its food wholesale division, which supplies independent and chain grocers, national brands, e-commerce platforms, and U.S. military commissaries.
The company employs 20,000 associates worldwide and continues to expand its retail footprint with concepts like Supermercado Nuestra Familia. Leaders said these expansions aim to “deliver the ingredients for a better life” while tailoring offerings to diverse consumer needs.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Hispanic Grocery
The Hispanic grocery sector continues to grow across the United States as Latino populations expand in cities like Topeka. Industry data show shoppers increasingly seek authentic foods that reflect their cultural heritage, alongside convenience and freshness.
With the Topeka store, SpartanNash positions Supermercado Nuestra Familia to capture this demand while creating jobs and building stronger community ties.
