We Support A New Grocery Store in North Beach

North Beach Neighbors supports Luke’s Local in their efforts to open a new grocery store at 580 Green Street. We believe this will greatly enhance our neighborhood by activating a long vacant storefront, adding local jobs, and providing community-serving goods and services. We’ve been engaged and advocating for a neighborhood-serving use of this space for the past five years.

We state our support with a strong preference of the following:

  • Highlighting Neighborhood Makers and Partners: Our neighborhood has a rich presence of craft food makers and artisans. We believe Luke’s Local should partner with them to lift up their work and highlight their products prominently. 

  • Improving Exterior Streetscape: The store location at 580 Green Street is a prominent location that sees thousands of residents and visitors pass by daily. We believe Luke’s Local should contribute to the built environment by improving the streetscape with additions that could include a parklet, benches, trees, flower boxes, well-placed loading zones, and bike racks. 

We look forward to continuing to engage on this project to make sure that it contributes to our neighborhood.
