 San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee today 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 on June 22. The store is located in the Outer Richmond District at 32nd Avenue & Clement Street.
"Today as we celebrate the opening of Fresh & Easy's first grocery store in San Francisco, we are demonstrating once again the City's commitment to providing our residents access to fresh, wholesome food at affordable prices regardless of where they live," stated Mayor Ed Lee in a statement provided by Fresh & Easy. "This new store along with the Bayview store scheduled to open in August will provide local jobs to our residents and it will have lasting local economic impacts in these communities and the City as a whole."

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.
