Downtown Seattle's PCC Community Markets will officially commence operations on the specified date.
PCC Community Markets has brought back its PCC Corner Market to the heart of downtown Seattle, located in the Rainier Square area near the historic Pike Place intersection. The store, which originally closed in late 2023, reopened its doors on July 15, 2025, at 9 a.m., marking a new chapter in bringing fresh, local foods to the city's bustling core [1][2][3].
The revamped PCC Corner Market is designed with a smaller footprint and a new focus on grab-and-go foods, catering to the needs of downtown workers and residents seeking quick, healthy meal options [1][3]. The store offers a variety of breakfast options, ready-to-eat meals, and convenient items for lunch and dinner, making it an ideal choice for those with busy schedules [3].
The store layout is streamlined for ease of access and speed, reflecting its focus on convenience [1][3]. Customers can find deli products from the PCC Market Kitchen, a hot bar, salad bar, fresh sushi, an assortment of beer and wine, and everyday grocery staples and essentials [3].
The reopening of the PCC Corner Market also represents an opportunity for PCC Community Markets to reflect the communities they serve by showcasing local talent. The store still features artworks from Andrea M. Wilbur-Sigo of the Squaxin Island Tribe [3].
Eli Dorr-Fay, a longtime PCC employee, has been named store manager of the PCC Corner Market [4]. Once open, the store will serve shoppers Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. [5].
In addition to the PCC Corner Market reopening, other grocery retailers are expanding their presence. Fred Meyer has expanded organic recycling to all stores across the Pacific Northwest, while Natural Grocers is expanding in the Southwest with a new outpost in New Mexico [6]. Price Rite will open a store in the former Ollie's location in Waterbury, Conn., in Fall 2025, and Stater Bros. is opening a new supermarket in SoCal, located in Greenspot Crossings in Highland [7].
As PCC Community Markets continues to grow and evolve, its commitment to providing fresh, local foods and supporting local talent remains unwavering. The reopening of the PCC Corner Market is a testament to this mission and a step forward in bringing convenience and quality to the downtown Seattle community.
