People's Food Co-op to expand – out of Ocean Beach?

The Ocean Beach People's Food Co-op is looking to expand their grocery store located at 4765 Voltaire Street. General manager Nancy Cassidy addressed the issue in the March 2013 monthly newsletter.

"We are reaching full capacity in the back-stock coolers, as well as in our parking lot many times throughout the day,” said Cassidy. The co-op parking lot is famously cramped, and circling autos increase their carbon footprint outside the "green store" by having to wait for a spot to open up.

Cassidy noted that "we have done extensive exploration in communities all over San Diego for the past few years, looking for sites that meet criteria for traffic, parking, truck loading, and affordability."

The co-op is seeking feedback and input from members and the general public.
