Waxhaw is getting a full-scale Indian grocery and food court this weekend as Triveni Supermarket opens its newest location, complete with a grocery floor, in-house bakery and hot food options for South Asian home cooks and curious eaters alike.
When and where
The grand opening celebration is scheduled for Saturday, following an Instagram announcement, according to the Charlotte Observer. That report notes CharlotteFive reached out to the company and was awaiting a response, as management positioned the Waxhaw store as a long-awaited option for local shoppers.
What the store will offer
The company's website lists Waxhaw among its "coming soon" locations and describes Triveni shops as offering groceries, spices, halal meat, an in-house bakery and prepared Indian dishes served in a food court. That is how the chain pitches its full-service market model, per Triveni Supermarket's website. That mix has been central to the chain's growth across the region.
Triveni's local footprint
Triveni opened its first area store in Pineville and now operates multiple Charlotte-area outlets while expanding into nearby towns, according to regional coverage of the chain's rollout. AOL and other outlets have noted the company's push into suburbs like Tega Cay and Concord as demand for South Asian grocery options grows.
The Waxhaw site
Commercial listings show the Waxhaw location on Cuthbertson Road in a large retail parcel that was marketed as a former Walgreens, giving Triveni a standalone footprint with ample parking and visibility, per property listings on LoopNet. Brokers marketing the site list it as roughly 14,800 square feet on about 1.78 acres.
Opening day and what to expect
Management touted the Waxhaw store as "your neighborhood destination for fresh groceries, authentic Indian essentials, and everyday favorites," the Charlotte Observer reports. Shoppers can likely expect a working bakery, a halal meat counter and several food court vendors when doors open, mirroring Triveni's Pineville model.
The arrival of Triveni adds another full-service Indian grocery option to the southern edge of the Charlotte market and is expected to draw crowds its first weekend. Locals who want to dodge the longest lines may find weekday visits more manageable once the store settles in.
