New Leaf Markets to Relocate Two Stores

New Leaf Markets, a chain of six natural food stores in NorCal, is relocating two stores.

New Leaf Market in downtown Santa Cruz will be closing the current 9,000 square foot location on Pacific Avenue and moving to a much larger 29,000 square foot location on River Street in the Gateway Plaza. This new location will provide a full-service format including a larger and more diverse produce department to include local and organic fruits and vegetables and a plentiful meat and seafood department. The grand opening of this location will be some time is 2025.

New Leaf Market in Capitola on 41^st Avenue is moving down the street to a larger location, a former Lucky’s store in the King’s Plaza Shopping Center. This new location is currently being remodeled and will open in late 2024. The size change won’t be as dramatic as the downtown Santa Cruz store, but it will allow New Leaf to expand the food service department and will carry a wide selection of local products as well as stocking additional organic offerings.
