They state on their website that their "stores are approximately 20,000 square feet, <br />with an annual [per store] sales averaging $5M". And they also have a wide variety of merchandise, <br />much beyond simple groceries: "Our offering is wide: Groceries, frozen, deli & refrigerated, produce, <br />fresh meat (selected stores), general merchandise - seasonal products, housewares, toys, and gifts- <br />health & beauty, and a most impressive inventory of beer & wine." <br />I also strongly feel that Grocery Outlet does not fit into the future Downtown plans, especially <br />surrounding TOD and the type of retailers San Leandro needs to attract people into the downtown area. <br /> <br />I am against Grocery Outlet moving into the old Albertsons site, and urge that the Zoning Board deny <br />their appeal. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />John Sherwood <br />1064 Glen Drive <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br /> <br />Don't get soaked.
