PCC Community Markets announced it will close its downtown Seattle location next year.
The community-owned grocery cooperative said the downtown Seattle store at the intersection of Fourth and Union will permanently close on January 31, 2024. PCC said the downtown location has significantly underperformed, citing a lower number of office workers and grocery shoppers in the area following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Despite an amazing team, fantastic store conditions, and a supportive landlord, our Downtown store has unfortunately remained unprofitable, and we do not see that changing for the foreseeable future,” said PCC CEO Krish Srinivasan. “Since continued losses pose a significant financial risk to our co-op’s long-term viability, we are acting now.”
The company said the staff of nearly 80 at the downtown location will be offered staff positions at other stores.
