Portland-based natural food retailer New Seasons Market has announced the opening of two new stores in Northern California. The new sites will be located in Emeryville and El Camino Real.
The company plans to open their 35,000-square-foot Emeryville location in late 2017, while the 30,000-square-foot El Camino Real store is planning for a late 2016 or early 2017 opening. Each store will employ around 100 workers.
“Our goal is to expand access to healthy food and build community while shoring up the regional food economy,” says New Seasons president and CEO Wendy Collie. “As a neighborhood grocer and a catalyst for change and growth, we want to serve as many communities as possible with easy access to fresh, local finds and classic favorites that bring people together and strengthen our region.”
New Seasons currently operates out of 16 stores in the Portland-Vancouver area. Earlier this year, it opened its first store in California, rebranding a New Leaf Market in San Jose. New Seasons acquired New Leaf last year and operates five stores under that banner in California.
