Good Earth Natural Foods Announces Its Third Store Opening in San Rafael

Good Earth Natural Foods is excited to reveal its plans for a new store in San Rafael, expanding its reach as a trusted source for natural and organic groceries. Set to open in Spring 2027, this new location in the Terra Linda Northgate Mall will mark the company's third store, building on the success of its existing locations in Fairfax and Mill Valley.

The new store will occupy a freestanding building at 1500 Northgate, a space previously taken by Rite Aid. This strategic move not only showcases the retailer's commitment to the Marin community but also enhances its position as an anchor tenant in the redeveloped Northgate Mall. The upcoming store promises to transform the shopping landscape by offering an array of organic products tailored to meet the needs of the local population.

Stephen Mitchell, co-owner and Managing Partner of Good Earth Natural Foods, expressed enthusiasm about this new chapter, stating, "We are thrilled to announce the opening of a 3rd Good Earth location in Marin County. Our aim has always been to provide access to the cleanest, healthiest organic food, and this new store will significantly enhance our capability to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Not only will it create over 200 jobs, but it will also fortify our commitment to the community's wellbeing and environmental sustainability."

With approximately 21,300 square feet, the new store will boast many of the features that have garnered love from customers at other locations. These include:

• - A 100% Certified Organic Produce department
• - An organic prepared foods section, featuring scratch-made meals
• - A café serving organic juices, smoothies, and custom-made coffee drinks
• - A full-service Meat and Seafood department
• - Community-focused indoor and outdoor dining spaces

Mark Squire, co-owner and a food activist, emphasized their cautious approach to growth, noting, "We've always strived to grow in a way that feels thoughtful and authentic to who we are. Ensuring that our stores meet our customers' high expectations for quality and service is paramount."

The excitement is palpable among the Good Earth team. Al Baylacq, another co-owner, shared, "I'm incredibly proud of our dedicated staff at both existing stores, and they truly deserve this opportunity for a third location. As we grow, we can provide more opportunities for advancement and introduce our organic offerings to more friends and families. We look forward to community input as we design this new space."

Founded in 1969 in Fairfax, Good Earth Natural Foods has earned a reputation as a community pillar, emphasizing sustainable practices and high-quality organic products for over 55 years. The team's dedication to promoting a healthier food system resonates throughout their operations, making them a beloved choice among Marin residents.
