Construction on the stores took three months. The expansion includes:
- Chef-inspired signature soups, ready-to-go meals, specialty cheeses, ready-to-east salads were added to the service deli.
- New signature bagels, 13 varieties of every day items including cookies, and pastries were added to the bakery.
- The organic section was expanded by 4 feet to accommodate customers who are making a commitment to healthy eating, along with new seafood and service meat counter.
- A bigger varieties of wines, and a selection of cold wines and the "our pick" six imported bottle beers have also been added.
- The pharmacy has a new consultation area where customers can receive all of the immunizations.
- The stores now have a Dallas Cowboys Pro Shop, with expanded inventory to include apparel for all the local Texarkana schools.
- The floral department was moved to the fronts of the stores so customers can stop and smell the flowers to make shopping pleasant.
