Euro Grocery Chain Expands to Bethel, CT

0:00It's April 17th, welcome to Hartford News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Euro Grocery Chain is expanding again, dropping its fifth store overall and fourth right here in Connecticut. The new spot hits 16 Stony Hill Road in Bethel, a 7,500 square foot setup ready to open in about a month after getting the green. Light from town planners. This place will stock pre-packaged eats straight from the Mediterranean, thing Greece, Italy, and the Balkans, catering to folks craving those authentic flavors. The chain kicked off in Rocky Hill back in 2017, then hit Waterbury in 2020, Orange in 2021, and even crossed into Massachusetts last year in 2024. Owner Drittin Leonini, who hails from Albania, sees big potential in ethnic neighborhoods, hungry for these imports, and he's all about building. He ties through the food, he's eyeing massive growth, aiming for 25 spots nationwide, already scouting sites in Stanford, more in Massachusetts, and pretty much everywhere else that fits.
