Lisa Sedlar is leaving her post as CEO of Portland's favorite grocery store, New Seasons Market. The good news is that she is following a life long dream of opening a new neighborhood friendly "healthy convenience store" concept throughout Portland's many neighborhoods. The idea of combining a small grocery/convenience store footprint with fresh local produce, meats, bakery and grab-n-go convenience has long been the desire of many national grocery chains. Sedlar envisions her new small-format stores fitting in well with the smaller scale of many central city neighborhoods. There are certainly more available locations for a 5,000 square foot grocery/convenience store than there are for a 50,000 square foot Fred Meyer... Imagine the possibilities!
Urban Works Real Estate is proud to be exclusively representing Lisa Sedlar. We've got a great location in the works for the first store... Please let us know if you have a good location in your neighborhood too. Congratulations Lisa!
I'm not sure of the sizes but there are quite a few empty store fronts in the Montavilla Business District west of 82nd. Besides, that area really needs a decent local grocery.

Mississippi Ave! Take over that Nu-Rite store! The new prescott apartments on Interstate being build have some nice retail space too.

Lair Hill really needs a grocery. There is a high density population here (and more coming, with more development planned for SW Corbett). Swan Mart doesn't cut it. How about the space that just opened up on Corbett and Bancroft next to Piroshki and a Pickle?
