Portland-based New Seasons Market plans to open its first Puget Sound region store in the fall of next year.
The new store will be located in a remodeled Albertsons building in Mercer Island, just east of Seattle. The store will feature the company’s signature lineup of local produce, organic artisan breads and sustainably sourced meats and seafood.
“I believe our values and sense of community very much align with those of the Mercer Island residents and that’s why we chose to open our very first Seattle store here,” said New Seasons Market President and CEO Wendy Collie, in a press release. “We look forward to making our Mercer Island store a welcoming, neighborhood gathering spot where people connect over delicious, quality food, get to know our wonderful staff and build community together.”
The company plans to hire from the Seattle area to fill approximately 150 jobs for the new store. Job openings will be posted online when recruiting efforts begin in the summer of 2016.
New Seasons Market operates one store in Vancouver, at 2100 SE 164th Ave, Suite 101.
