Grocer With Russian Roots To Open In South Florida

A Russian-owned grocery chain said it plans to open its first U.S. store in South Florida in September.

Okey-Dokey is one of 36 companies hiring for jobs at an upcoming local job fair. The job fair is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at Don Shula's Hotel, 6842 Main St., Miami Lakes.

The grocery chain is being developed by Miami-based Agro-Trade, which said it plans to open up to 30 stores in South Florida by the end of the year. Each store will employ 10 to 16 workers, according to Agro-Trade.

"We see the opportunity. We've done it before, and we know we can do it this time," said Andre Shilenko, vice president of recruiting for Agro-Trade.
