The Ballard PCC has announced that they’ll be open by Nov. 13.
The new store is 24,000 square feet, and will be somewhat unique compared to their other locations. For one, they’ll have a fast-casual restaurant, a first for the co-op. There will also be a rooftop deck with views of the Ballard Bridge, and a large art installation by illustrator Kyler Martz including a 16-foot-tall octopus.
The restaurant will have 25 seats, and will be focused on seafood with made-to-order dishes and local wine, beer, and cider. Some of the menu offerings will be a Fresh Northwest Seafood Cioppino, Creamy Clam Chowder with Bacon, Red Curry and Lemongrass Clams or Mussels, and a Northwest Clam Bake.
The Ballard location will also have the co-op’s popular signature deli, with fresh pizzas, a taqueria, grain bowls, and self-serve offerings with an antipasti bar, yogurt bar, hot bar with scratch-made dishes such as Moroccan Lemon Chicken and Glazed Tempeh Fajitas, and a cold bar with organic salad ingredients.
The new store (1451 N.W. 46th St) will be open to the public by 9am sharp on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
