BOTHELL — PCC Natural Markets plans to open its second location in Snohomish County by next year.
The 25,000-square-foot store is planned in the former Albertsons at the Canyon Park Shopping Center at 22621 Bothell Everett Highway.
It will the be 11th store for the organic and natural foods grocer. The store is expected to employ 130 full- and part-time employees.
“We are delighted to announce that we will be bringing PCC’s best in class produce, our in-store made deli and prepared foods and our wide variety of natural and organic grocery items – plus our excellent customer service – to shoppers in the Bothell, Mill Creek, and Woodinville communities,” said Cate Hardy, PCC’s CEO in a statement.
The Seattle headquartered chain has opened several new stores in the past few years, including one in Columbia City this summer, one in Green Lake Village last year and the store in Edmonds in 2008.
And the business expects to continue to expand.
“Since I joined PCC in January, people from all over the Puget Sound region have asked for a PCC closer to home,” Hardy said. “We are actively exploring a variety of ways that we can meet this demand, including considering additional new store locations.”
For the Bothell location, PCC Natural Markets is employing Seattle-based Velocipede Architects and Woodman Construction.
Canyon Park Shopping Center is owned and operated by Retail Opportunity Investments Corp.
“We are thrilled to be bringing PCC to our shopping center,” said Stuart Tanz, Retail Opportunity Investment’s CEO. “With its high quality, organic-natural offerings and established reputation in the Seattle market, PCC will serve as an excellent marquee tenant at our property and will become an integral part of the surrounding community.”
PCC Natural Markets is a certified organic retail cooperative with annual sales of more than $230 million and an active membership of more than 54,000 households.
