Mor Mex Fresh Market will expand to meet South Bend west side demand
SOUTH BEND — When Kroger closed on the city’s west side in the summer of 2025, local leaders worried that the area was about to become a food desert. Around the same time, Mor Mex Fresh Market opened its doors at 2401 W. Western Ave., providing residents with a new grocery store to get their weekly produce and meat from. The store also houses a taqueria and bakery. Now, thanks to $100,000 from the South Bend Redevelopment Commission , the grocery store is expanding its current location. Eugene Demianczuk, who helps with the store’s equipment supply and coordinates construction, told commissioners at their Sept. 9 meeting that the grocery store was welcomed with open arms by the entire west side much faster than anticipated. “It’s a wide variety of ethnic-based customers, so that demands the expansion to accommodate more products,” Demianczuk said. Panadería y Supermercado San Miguel Inc. , the developer of Mor Mex, bought land to the west of the grocery store, which previously served as part of a scrap metal yard. The expansion includes construction of an approximately 8,000-square-foot addition, renovating the existing interior space and enhancing the food preparation operations, Assistant Director of Growth and Opportunity April
