Shoppers enjoyed lots of free samples of PCC’s signature deli salads, and of course, cake! There was so much energy in the store that one delighted shopper said, “this is so exciting, it feels like a concert!”

Greenlake Village has all the fresh, local, organic grocery choices you’ve come to expect from PCC. We couldn’t have opened this store without you and the support of our local community.

We’d like to thank our dedicated customers, members, producers and farmers who continue to choose PCC as their local market. We look forward to seeing you!
