City Market's South End store plans to open this week

City Market's second store is expected to open in Burlington's South End on Thursday.

The new branch, which was originally scheduled to open in late summer, is to be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, according to a news release announcing the opening date.

The new Flynn Avenue store is about 27,000 square feet — about a third larger than the store's downtown location. City Market General Manager John Tashiro has said he expects about 20 percent of the downtown store's business to move to new store.

The downtown store has operated at its current location on South Winooski Avenue since 2002. Plans for a second location began in 2012, Tashiro said in a news release.
