Henry's Farmers Market, a full-service neighborhood grocery store featuring affordable prices, great value and good old-fashioned service, opens tomorrow at 8 a.m. in Elk Grove at 8211 Laguna Blvd. (a former Circuit City location). This is the first Henry's to open in northern California. (During the grand opening tomorrow morning, the first 200 guests will receive a pre-packed bag full of groceries.)

Henry's sells natural beef, pork, lamb and poultry; ocean-fresh fish and seafood; farm-fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables; bulk bin items such as grains, rice and pasta; deli meats and cheeses, fresh salads, and rotisserie chicken; and a large selection of natural and organic vitamins and body care items.

Henry's is owned by Southern California-based Smart & Final but is operated independently in most regards. Henry's Farmers Market established its roots in 1943 as a family-owned business selling truckloads of fresh, local peaches on a street corner in San Diego under the name Boney's. Since then, Henry's has opened stores throughout California and has made a name for itself by offering that same old-fashioned shopping experience reminiscent of produce stands and neighborhood butcher shops of the 1940s and 1950s.
