A few months after opening its seventh store, growing regional chain Chavez Supermarket announced plans for its eighth store in the city’s Blossom Valley district.

The family-owned Hispanic food retailer will debut its first South San Jose store in the fall, opening in a 10,000-square-foot space at Sunrise Plaza. The property was vacated Feb. 1 by longtime tenant and home merchandise retailer Western Appliance.
