Wal-Mart-owned supermarket chain Más x Menos opened a new branch in Santa Ana, west of San José, on Friday and will hire 76 employees from the surrounding area.

“It's a great joy for Más x Menos to inaugurate this new point of sale in the Santa Ana canton, a zone that is experiencing large commercial and urban development in recent years,” said Eugenio Dobles, format director for the Más x Menos division of Wal-Mart Central America in Costa Rica. “With this opening, we are looking to bring our products and the best prices to this San José community.”

The Santa Ana location is the 24th Más x Menos store opened since the supermarket chain first set up shop in 1960.

Measuring 1,395 square meters, the supermarket will offer 18,000 different products – from fruits and veggies to a selection of meat and household goods.

The new Más x Menos is located 400 meters north of the Red Cross office in Santa Ana. It will be open from 7 a.m.-12 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 7 a.m.-9 p.m. on Sunday.
