Grocery Outlet

Grocery Outlet is on the ground floor of the Sofia apartment complex. The 16,500-square-foot space carries fresh produce and packaged goods, though there’s a twist: Grocery Outlet has a rotating selection of items, rather than a set inventory, which helps keep costs low; the goods are taken from overstocked items from distributors. According to the company, customers can save around 40% on brand-name items, and the selection rotates weekly. The Emeryville, Calif.-based chain operates in the Western United States, as well as Pennsylvania. The store will be open every day, and fills a space that Sofia developer Holland Partner Group long intended to hold a market.
