Some stores will be renovated, expanded or built new. But each will feature upgraded, ready-to-eat food areas, company spokesman John Elliott said.
“It is something we consider at all of our store investments and remodels. Shoppers can get a roasted chicken, meatloaf and all of the sides that go with it,” he said.
