"The Grocery Outlet at NorthPoint Centre is set to open in late summer of this year, a Grocery Outlet representative confirmed to SFGATE. Earlier this week, an eagle-eyed Redditor posted a photo of a new Grocery Outlet sign at the location. In late March, Hoodline spotted construction barriers, plywood walls and banners reading “Future home of Grocery Outlet” at the site, indicating the store is under construction."
"Initially, Grocery Outlet projected it would open at the shopping center in the first quarter of 2026 - a window that has since passed. The store will be 30,000 square feet and is expected to cost $5 million, SFGATE previously reported. Anchor Pacific Capital purchased NorthPoint Centre and the neighboring residential complex in 2023 for almost $26 million."
"“The departure of Safeway has been a hardship for many people in this community who have had to go outside the neighborhood on transit to find reasonably priced groceries and essentials like baby formula and diapers,” said then-District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin in a statement shared with SFGATE in 2024. “Our work to enhance public safety and give grocery stores tax incentives helped convince Grocery Outlet to locate in this 30,000 square-foot facility.”"
"Grocery Outlet may have recently closed 36 underperforming stores across the country, but in the Bay Area, it's expanding. The chain is opening new locations in the Eastlake neighborhood of Oakland and in Moraga, as well as eyeing another new location in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood, according to public records."
A Safeway at 350 Bay St. in the North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf area closed in 2023, prompting residents to seek a replacement grocery store. Grocery Outlet plans to take over the former Safeway location at NorthPoint Centre. The store is expected to open in late summer of this year, with construction activity including barriers, plywood, and signage indicating a future Grocery Outlet. NorthPoint Centre and a neighboring residential complex were purchased in 2023 for nearly $26 million. Grocery Outlet previously projected an opening in the first quarter of 2026, which has passed. The planned store will be about 30,000 square feet and is expected to cost $5 million. The closure of Safeway created hardship for residents needing affordable essentials, and local efforts helped attract Grocery Outlet.
