August retail openings

a large chef ’s case filled with prepared foods. That should make for affordable meals to grab and go on busy weeknights.

Since it’s hatch chili season, many recipes feature the smokey-not-hot pepper, Rief says. Items to try include the homemade Hatch Chili Chicken Salad and Hatch Chili Smoked Chicken Sausage.

Customers can ask to try anything in the deli case or on the extensive prepared food bars, Rief says. Be on the lookout for “Lucky Finds,” which are some of the store’s best sellers offered at special savings. The smoked turkey breast will be $6.99 a pound, a $3 savings.

The apothecary is reminiscent of Whole Foods, selling teas, salves, tinctures and healing elixirs, aromatherapy oils, candles, soaps and other organic personal care items.

If you don’t make it to Wednesday’s grand opening, stop by the Taste of Lucky’s event from 11 to 3 p.m. on Saturday. There will be live music, food samples and gift-basket giveaways.

“We’re excited for residents to shop at a great grocery store with great prices,” Rief says. “It’s been eight months in the making.” Aldi, Avant Food, Drink, Culture, BA&SH, Best Buy, Breitling, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Etro, LOFT Outlet, Moncler, Cinnabon, I-CE-NY, Green-biotics, Milano Gelateria Gourmet, Natural Kerr, Union Color Salon,
