A new El Super grocery store is set to open in September at the intersection of Craig Road and Martin Luther King Boulevard, bringing a large-format supermarket and nearly 120 jobs to North Las Vegas.
Store details and neighborhood context
The new location will occupy a 32,000-square-foot space in the recently completed Hylo Park shopping center, city and commercial sources confirm. El Super said the store will include a bakery, a meat department and a produce section, positioning itself as a full-service supermarket for residents in the area.
Company leaders and developers have positioned the opening as part of broader retail growth in North Las Vegas. The chain’s new site will be the fifth El Super in the Las Vegas Valley, and it arrives as other grocers also move into the city: a Smith’s Marketplace is planned near Tule Springs Parkway and a Cardenas Market is in development.
Community reaction and potential impact
Residents who live near Craig Road and MLK said additional grocery options are needed as the population in North Las Vegas continues to grow. Local shopper Rajaee Harris said more stores translate to better prices and more product availability.
“We need more in the community, because there's a lot more people coming to Las Vegas... It's more feasible. They are looking for bargains,” Harris said, adding that having multiple stores nearby increases the chance of finding specific products.
Economic development officials say new supermarkets often serve as anchors that draw additional retail and service businesses to nearby centers. For households, more grocery competition can mean lower prices, wider product selection and shorter travel times for regular shopping.

What this means for North Las Vegas shoppers
For households facing rising grocery costs, an additional large-format store could provide more opportunities to find value-priced items and culturally relevant products often stocked by El Super. The arrival of multiple grocers in different parts of the city — including the Smith’s Marketplace and Cardenas Market projects — suggests expanding retail options across North Las Vegas rather than concentration in a single neighborhood.
Developers behind the Hylo Park center completed the complex earlier this month, and the El Super site will help activate that commercial property by bringing regular foot traffic. Anchored shopping centers typically spur leases for smaller retailers and service providers such as pharmacies, restaurants and personal-care businesses, though specific tenant plans for additional space at Hylo Park have not been disclosed.

City officials and grocery operators typically work with local workforce agencies and hiring partners when opening new stores, though the company and the shopping-center developer have not released a detailed hiring timeline. Residents interested in employment at the new El Super should monitor the company’s local website and the leasing center at Hylo Park for job posting announcements as the September opening approaches.
As the store prepares to open, North Las Vegas residents can expect another option for weekly grocery shopping close to home. The new El Super rounds out recent retail investments in the city and reflects continuing interest from supermarket chains in the greater Las Vegas market.
