A new grocery store in Aurora, one of Colorado’s most diverse cities, is catering to the increasingly diverse Hispanic populations that are making the community their home.

The first-of-its-kind store for the two companies opened in a 24,000-square-foot former Kmart in the La Plaza Colorado at 15200 E Colfax Ave. The grocery chains call Ahorra Mucho — Spanish for save a lot — an “innovation center,” where services and products and food found in Mexico and throughout Central America will be tested and sold to tap into the fast-growing Hispanic populations in Colorado and across the U.

The site, which included both the track and huge parking lots, has been fully within the limits of Morrison since August, when the town board voted 4-3 to annex about 125 acres that had been outside it. Copart plans to turn the site into a storage facility for cars awaiting resale.
