A new grocery store is getting closer to opening its doors in Chatham. 
Mercato Fresh, an offshoot of Windsor’s Mr Meat Market chain, is holding a job fair later this week.
According to Chatham-Kent’s Economic Development Department, the hiring blitz runs September 27th (2-5pm) and 28th (10am-1pm) at the Travelodge in Chatham, looking for butchers, cooks, cashiers, and general labourers, among other positions.
The company hasn’t announced an official opening date for its new location in Chatham’s Thames Lea Plaza at this point, but says on its Facebook page that the plan is to be up and running in late November or early December.
