Updated: 3:15 p.m. Thursday

FAIRLESS HILLS, PA — Grocery Outlet has opened its fourth location in Bucks County this week in the Fairless Hills Shopping Center on Lincoln Highway.

Grocery Outlet Inc. held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of the new store at 11 a.m. on Thursday. The store will be independently owned and operated by Andy Hinds.

The store will occupy 42,000 square feet of space in the shopping center, which is also adding a Big Blue Swim School there.

Grocery Outlet has Bucks County locations in Warminster, Jamison, and Quakertown.

Grocery Outlet offers a full range of products, including fresh produce, meat, deli, and dairy, along with a wide assortment of natural and organic choices. The store also carries a large selection of health and beauty care, and seasonal items.

“We are so excited to be expanding Grocery Outlet’s footprint with our new location in Fairless Hills. We couldn’t ask for a better operator than Andy. If you’ve never been to a Grocery Outlet before, we are looking forward to getting to know you and providing you and your family with new options for high-quality, affordable produce, meat and groceries. And if you’re familiar with us, we can’t wait to surprise you with something new,” Grocery Outlet Chief Marketing Officer Layla Kasha said.

During Thursday's event, the store’s independent operators will donate $1,000 to the Family Service Association of Bucks County.

Starting at 8 a.m., the first 100 customers will receive a Bliss Buck gift card for mystery amounts ranging from $5 to $500. Shoppers will also receive one free reusable bag with their purchase through opening week, while supplies last.

Customers can also enter to win $1,000 in free groceries from June 26 through July 25.

Grocery Outlet has more than 540 stores across a large swath of the United States. The company uses an opportunistic buying model to surprise and delight shoppers with unexpected and rare finds in addition to providing great fresh produce and meats they expect from their neighborhood grocery store.

The company estimates this business model can save shoppers as much as 60 percent over conventional grocery stores, on average, according to the company’s website.

In 1973, Grocery Outlet’s founder, Jim Read, signed the first operator agreement on a napkin. Since then, the company has relied on Independent Operators like Andy to grow the company nationwide and helped hundreds of potential operators achieve their professional and financial goals.
