SAN FRANCISCO – Bi-Rite Family of Businesses, a Certified B Corporation dedicated to Creating Community Through Food, is advancing plans for a new Bi-Rite Market at 6001 California Street in San Francisco’s Richmond District, targeting an opening in 2027. The store would become Bi-Rite’s fourth neighborhood market and builds on the success of its Polk Street location, which opened in 2024. The project aligns with Bi-Rite’s 10-year vision for thoughtful, responsible growth grounded in community support, welcoming hospitality, and great-tasting food. The new market will also expand Bi-Rite’s support of San Francisco nonprofit organizations and programs focused on food access, youth, and education.
A Historic Corner Market, Reimagined for the NeighborhoodLocated in a historic 1917 building that has been vacant for approximately two years and has long served as a neighborhood grocery store, Bi-Rite plans to thoughtfully bring the space back to life, honoring its legacy while reimagining it to serve the unique Richmond neighborhood.
The location sits along a major transit line in a highly residential neighborhood, making it an ideal setting for everyday shopping, enjoying a breakfast sandwich on a tranquil corner before starting the workday, and meeting up with neighbors for a weekend lunch.
“There’s a real need for a walkable grocery store in this part of the Richmond,” said Patrick Mills, Co–CEO. “We’ve had people reach out directly, sharing how excited they are for us to come.”
A Full-Service Market ExperienceGuests can expect a one-stop-shop neighborhood Market, including:
- Farm-direct produce, offering a farmers market experience seven days a week
- An abundant range of house made prepared foods, like entrees, dips, salads, desserts, baked goods, and ice cream
- An on-site kitchen and deli, preparing made-to-order sandwiches, and bowls
- A robust meat and seafood program
- Responsibly sourced grocery staples, dairy, cheese, snacks, and beverages
- A curated selection of food-friendly wine, beer, and spirits
- Expanded breakfast offerings, including breakfast sandwiches and hot coffee
- Outdoor seating designed to encourage gathering and connection
“We’re not just opening a store. We’re committing to the neighborhood for decades to come,” said Brianne O’Leary Gagnon, Co–CEO. “Our goal is to create a space where people can find the most delicious food, feel taken care of, and stay connected to their community.”…
