New Seasons Market will open a new location in Milwaukie, Oregon, filling the vacant grocer space in the Milwaukie Marketplace at 10830 SE Oak St.
The store is anticipated to open in fall 2023. The property is owned by an affiliate of Kimco Realty.
“As New Seasons Market continues to thoughtfully grow our community, Milwaukie is a natural choice for a new neighborhood market,” said Nancy Lebold, CEO. “We’re thrilled to introduce ourselves to the neighborhood and connect the community to the best organic and locally sourced produce, meat and grocery staples.”
Milwaukie Marketplace is near the center of the city along Highway 224, adjacent to the Milwaukie and Ardenwald neighborhoods and close to the International Way industrial area. In community surveys since 2016, a grocery store ranked as a top priority for residents, business owners and property owners. Milwaukie City Council and city staff have actively recruited grocery stores to fill the space, vacated by Albertson’s, since 2015.
“This has been a multi-year effort for the city as it strived to support our Milwaukie Marketplace property owners and commercial brokers, while also endeavoring to market the space on its own,” said Joseph Briglio, community development director. “This commercial area is a vital asset in our community, but it’s been underutilized. Having a partner like New Seasons invest and expand in Milwaukie should help provide the spark this shopping center has needed for quite some time.”
The 28,000-square-foot store will create more than 100 jobs in the neighborhood and support the regional food economy by connecting customers to local producers and their products.
“Kimco is delighted to soon welcome New Seasons Market grocery store to our Milwaukie Marketplace,” said Kristina Burmeister, director of real estate at Kimco. “Our center’s customers will be excited to have a place to shop and gather, just around the corner, at this this very special market in Milwaukie.”
With the nearby Monroe Apartments currently under construction, New Seasons Market will also help fill the needs of the future tenants living in the 238-unit multi-family development.
