Like I earlier, it's almost like we've been stalking the place. But honestly, it seems like forever since I first noticed the coming soon sign back in September. So this afternoon, on my way home from work....I took my usual "stalker's glance" and saw folks walking into North Park Produce with shopping carts!
So the Missus and I stopped by on our way to dinner. I found out that they opened today, though their official "Grand Opening" is a couple of days away.
The shelves were full, but some of the produce bins are still empty and there's a section with a brick oven and kitchen area that's not ready yet. I'm thinking fresh baked breads and hopefully prepared food are soon to come.
Like every other location of NPP, this one seems to have it's own focus. I'll take a couple more visits to confirm. So here's the rest in photos.
And as usual....there's always something interesting that I had never noticed before.
They were quite busy, so I didn't have a chance to get their hours....I'll do that next time.
North Park Produce
4220 Balboa Ave.
San Diego, CA 92117
The opening has been seeming imminent for the past week or so - looking forward to checking it out!

Hi Mike - Yeah, I saw that all the paper was taken off the window and the shelves were being stocked....I do feel like I was stalking the place.
Double Yay CC!

Thanks for the tip! I took a look and liked the veggies, fruit, and meats.

Hi Soo - The prices are pretty good, we get our various olive/grapeseed oil from there as well.

Which olive oil do you like? I usually get the organic olive oil at Costco.

Hi Soo - We've come to like Spitiko as our everyday EVOO. We also have 2-3 others, including a Picholine and sometimes an unfiltereed local for salads and finishing.
