Your Local Market Opening

Mary Holmes and Cathi Hatch

This week Mary Holmes and I joined Jason Brown at the opening of his new Bellevue grocery store, Your Local Market.  Jason showcased his company at our recent ZINO Zillionaire Investment Forum in September, so we were eager to see the finished product that he had described.  He has taken over the old Safeway store location on the corner of Bellevue Way and 4th Street.  It is an interesting concept which includes organic food and mainstream brands as well.

As we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and handed a beautiful long-stemmed rose and a branded burlap shopping bag that included lots of interesting food products available at the store.  The produce displays were beautiful and Mary and I had fun looking at all the wine selections offered too.  There were tasting stations throughout the store that included fresh salsas, white bean hummus-style dips, sliced high-quality deli meats, sushi, cheeses, dessert bites and high-end bottled fruit juices and teas.

Throughout the store, there are thought-provoking sayings painted on the walls.  My favorite is one by Benjamin Franklin, "Beer if proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." 

A big congratulations to Jason and his entire team!  CONGRATULATIONS!!
