Northgate González Market celebrated the grand opening of its new store at 2603 Westminster Ave. in Santa Ana, California.
“We are excited at the overwhelming response and support from the Santa Ana community,” said Miguel González, co-president of Northgate González Market.
The company invested more than $25 million into the new store and shopping center. The announcement builds upon Northgate González Market’s commitment to the Santa Ana community, which began with its first store opening in 1995.
“Northgate Market has been a great partner for the residents and the City of Santa Ana,” said Vincente Sarmiento, Santa Ana mayor. “Their commitment to improving the quality of life for our residents has consistently been demonstrated by their sponsored health and cancer screening, food donations, numerous contributions to many of our non-profit organizations, and local hiring. We look forward to being a strong partner with Northgate Market.”
At a VIP reception, Northgate Market owners announced $30,000 in donations to local organizations including Greenville Fundamental Elementary, Santa Ana High School, Latino Health Access, Project Youth OC, CRECE Urban Farms, Garden Grove School District, Santa Ana College Foundation and the Santa Ana Public Schools Foundation.
