GROCERY · A POSSIBLE LOCATION
A specialty grocery option
A specialty grocery candidate within the Stewart Parkway shopping district, subject to a measured building review and an operator-led market assessment.
THE PROPOSED USE
Broaden the grocery selection on Stewart Parkway.
This profile investigates a grocery use that adds products and services beyond the stores already serving the district. Organic produce, specialty ingredients and prepared food are among the needs to test with households. The selection and prices must support regular weekly purchases.
Natural Grocers, Trader Joe’s and Market of Choice are alternatives in the catalog. Each has its own format and market criteria; the proposal does not assume that all three are viable. An independent food retailer may also meet the documented need. Recruitment should follow the evidence about customers and the space available.
- Specialty groceries
- Quality everyday food
- Local suppliers
- Safe access
Confirm the floor area before choosing a grocery format.
The listing for 2455 NW Stewart Parkway describes loading docks and warehouse space and states that Goodwill is moving. It does not establish the floor area available or a possession date. Those two facts must be confirmed before a grocer can assess the premises.
Refrigeration, food preparation, deliveries and electrical demand will influence conversion costs. The rent and work required need to be evaluated together. R2 covers a separate advertised space at 2475 NW Stewart; the addresses share a reference parcel and must not be counted as two independent land purchases.
Published property information
- All-Pro’s listing says Goodwill is moving and describes loading docks and warehouse space.
- The advertised base rent is $0.75 per square foot per month on a triple-net (NNN) basis, with additional property costs determined by the lease. The page does not establish the available floor area.
Recorded property-information review: November 8, 2026. Listings and inventory records can change; current availability and terms need confirmation from the owner or appointed representative.
Intended community benefit
The intended result is a wider food selection within an established shopping district. Evidence of purchases currently made outside the area would help identify the useful difference, including any opportunities for local suppliers. The final offer must complement existing food businesses and be affordable for its regular customers.
Required site and business assessments
The following assessments establish whether the use is feasible at this location, what it will cost and which parties are prepared to proceed.
- 01
The owner or appointed broker needs to confirm who occupies the space, when possession could be offered and whether the listing is still current.
- 02
A measured floor plan needs to establish the available sales floor, storage, loading and support space.
- 03
A prospective grocer needs to price refrigeration, electrical capacity, loading arrangements and food-related approvals.
- 04
The full occupancy budget needs to include additional lease charges and the cost of fitting out the store, as well as base rent.
- 05
A demand study needs to show how the proposed offer differs from existing grocery choices and what level of repeat spending it could attract.
