San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee on June 22 joined U.S. Health and Human Services Regional Director Herb Schultz, executives from Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market and dozens of neighborhood leaders to open the grocer’s first store in San Francisco. The store is located in the Outer Richmond District at 32nd Avenue & Clement Street.
For each store opening, Fresh & Easy invites neighbors to nominate a local, non-profit organization to receive a $1,000 donation. Based off the nominations from the neighborhood, store employees selected the Richmond District Neighborhood Center, which provides countless services for local residents of all ages.
Fresh & Easy operates 176 stores in California, Arizona and Nevada. In addition to fresh prepared meals, meats and produce, Fresh & Easy offers national brand products and household items, all at low prices. The grocer’s popular fresh&easy brand products have no artificial colors or flavors, no added trans fats, no high-fructose corn syrup, and only use preservatives when absolutely necessary.
