New Seasons Market will hold a store grand opening March 27 in the Milwaukie Marketplace shopping mall at 10830 SE Oak St. in Milwaukie, Oregon.
The festivities will begin with a bread-breaking ceremony at 10 a.m., featuring Milwaukie Mayor Lisa Batey, store manager Joe McCarthy and New Seasons Market Milwaukie Marketplace’s food recovery partner, Clackamas Service Center.
“As the doors swing open at New Seasons Market Milwaukie Marketplace, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the warmth and support from our incredible community,” McCarthy said.
This milestone marks the culmination of a journey that began with the announcement of New Seasons Market’s expansion into Milwaukie, filling the vacant 35,375-square-feet grocery space. The new store is designed with a larger footprint than a traditional site to serve as a community hub.
“We are thrilled to have New Season’s open its doors to our city,” said Batey. “They are not only providing quality food products and jobs for our residents but also helping rejuvenate and bring life to Milwaukie Marketplace. We are fortunate to have them as our newest neighbor.”
Key features of the new store include:
- Local and organic produce sourced from Pacific Northwest farmers;
- Full-service, sustainable meat and seafood department;
- Chef-prepared seasonal deli options;
- Organic, local grocery staples and bulk foods;
- Local craft beer, cider and wine, artisan cheeses and baked goods;
- Full-service floral department, high-quality wellness items and handmade home goods by local artisans; and
- Walls decorated with custom graphics from Portland-based illustrator Brett Stenson.
The Milwaukie Marketplace New Seasons Market store represents a significant investment in the neighborhood, creating more than 100 jobs and supporting the regional food economy.
“We are beyond delighted to open the doors of New Seasons Market at Milwaukie Marketplace. From the bottom of my heart, I wish to extend a profound thank you to the Milwaukie community for their sincere enthusiasm as we meticulously prepared for this day,” said New Seasons Market CEO Nancy Lebold.
“I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the city, whose invaluable support has been instrumental in bringing our vision to life. We are not just opening a store; together, we are weaving the very fabric of what community and local living stand for. It is an honor to be a part of Milwaukie’s rich tapestry, and we look forward to nurturing these relationships for many years to come.”
