THE BRIEF

Family-owned and operated, Las Montañas Supermarkets has spent decades serving its surrounding communities by providing a vast selection of fresh and authentic Mexican foods and specialty grocery items.

Known for their fresh meats and produce, along with an emphasis on superior customer service, Las Montañas offers the highest quality products and an enticing in-store shopping experience.

Las Montañas recently opened its 4th location in Hayward, California. This new 24,000 sq ft. space features an expansive taquería. From the traditional dishes of homemade tortillas and carnitas to a juice bar featuring smoothies and aguas frescas to a bakery with Mexican pastries, La Cocina transforms a trip to the grocery store into a delightful culinary experience as well.

KRS was honored to be a part of Las Montañas’ supermarket expansion. Beginning with a site survey, our team adapted the existing design to work in this new location. In the process, KRS value-engineered the design elements, helping Las Montañas to stay within budget.

After prototyping and design adaptation, KRS continued with the dècor and signage fabrication, followed by our skilled team of commercial installers getting everything in place for the Grand Opening.

Step into the world of Las Montañas Supermarkets' newest location in Hayward, California, where traditional Mexican culinary delights meet modern retail design.
