PCC Community Markets to return to Rainier Square
PCC is coming back to downtown Seattle with a new store concept and corporate office at Rainier Square.
The upscale grocer closed its downtown flagship in January, citing continued operational losses that threatened the co-op's long-term viability. The 19,000-square-foot store opened in January 2022.
“We continue to hear — from co-op members, our staff, and downtown residents — about a strong need in the city center for the kind of unique shopping and dining experience that only PCC offers," President and CEO Krish Srinivasan said in a news release. "We are thrilled to be able to meet that need by returning with a new concept that promises significantly better economics than a full-service grocery store."
The new, smaller store will span 6,500 square feet, will feature the hot and prepared food and lunch items during the workday, in addition to a limited selection of grocery and pantry items.
