WARR ACRES, Okla. (KFOR) – The state’s largest Latino-owned supermarket chain is opening its newest store in Warr Acres.

Supermercados Morelos is now open at 3701 N. MacArthur Blvd. in Warr Acres.

We feel confident that the residents will be very happy with the many authentic food products and various services that Morelos has to offer,” said Supermercados Morelos CEO, Francisco Ibarra.

Renovation of the store began in July of 2021 and is now open for business.
