Downtown Seattle Store of PCC Community Markets Set to Commence Operations on Specified Date
PCC Community Markets Reopens Downtown Seattle Location as 'Corner Market'
PCC Community Markets, a Pacific Northwest-based grocery chain known for its commitment to organic and sustainable products, has reopened its downtown Seattle location as the 'PCC Corner Market'. The smaller-scale store, designed to cater to commuters, visitors, and local residents during weekdays, reopened its doors on July 15, 2023.
The PCC Corner Market offers a range of grab-and-go options, deli products, a hot bar, salad bar, fresh sushi, beer, wine, grocery staples, and essentials. The store's opening hours, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., are designed to fit the lifestyle of downtown shoppers seeking fresh groceries with convenient timing.
The reopening of the PCC Corner Market represents a new chapter in bringing fresh, local foods to downtown Seattle. Eli Dorr-Fay, a longtime PCC employee, has been named store manager. The reopened location also features artwork by Andrea M. Wilbur-Sigo of the Squaxin Island Tribe, adding a touch of local flavour to the store.
The strategy behind the smaller-scale store aligns with PCC's pattern of adapting store size and offerings based on community needs and space constraints. The original downtown store had previously closed, though specific reasons for that initial closure are not detailed. PCC has expanded to larger formats in other neighborhoods, such as the Columbia City PCC store that opened about 10 years ago.
PCC's overall mission includes supporting local and diverse vendors, as seen in their other locations. It's reasonable to expect a similar community-oriented approach at the downtown Corner Market. Customers can purchase items for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and various snacks at the PCC Corner Market.
In addition to the reopening of the PCC Corner Market, PCC Community Markets has also been recognized for its achievements. The company was named one of Progressive Grocer's Outstanding Independents for 2025. Srinivasan, the CEO of PCC Community Markets, believes that showcasing local talent enhances the shopping experience.
The reopening of the PCC Corner Market is a positive step forward for the grocery chain and the downtown Seattle community. The store's focus on quality organic and sustainable products, convenient hours, and community-oriented approach make it a valuable addition to the urban environment.
