Tesco-owned Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market yesterday opened its 25th and 26th locations in the Phoenix area, and said it plans to open 37 more throughout the valley.

Each store is approximately 10,000 square feet, employs approximately 20 to 30 people, and offers prepared meals, produce, and national brand products.

Two local charities were selected for a donation by each store's staff from neighborhood nominations made through Fresh & Easy's Web site: the Arizona Retriever Rescue, and Team Saulo.
