NEW SEASONS Market to have grand opening
On March 23, 2016 the newest
New Seasons Market at 6300 N.
Lombard will open its doors to the
public. The 25,000-square-foot
store opens at 8 a.m. and invites
the community to a “bread break-
ing” ceremony starting at 10 a.m.
The celebration will continue
through March 27 with New Sea-
sons giving away sample products
from local vendors and long-term
partners, including Hot Mama
Salsa, Duker’s Dills, Fuller Foods,
Union Wine Company, Widmer
Brothers Brewing, St. John’s Cof-
fee Roasters and many more.
The University Park store, of-
fers an outdoor seating area with
recycled milk jug lounge chairs.
Inside, New Seasons chefs will
offer prepared selections from hot
pot pies to sandwiches and char-
cuterie to present delicious, con-
venient grab-n-go meals that can
be enjoyed onsite or at home.
New Seasons also offers peak-of-
season regional organic produce,
a range of specialty diet choices,
sustainably sourced meats and
fresh seafood and an organic bak-
ery, alongside everyday grocery
classics.
“New Seasons is a place where
residents can connect with the
community, discover new foods
and engage with the friendly staff
and their neighbors,” said Store
Manager Erin Leiker. “This store,
with its central location, great
food and community gathering
places, is going to be a commons
for this neighborhood. I’ve lived
here for years, as have many of
our 120 staff. We’re all eager to
open the doors and welcome in
our neighbors.”
For technologically-minded
shoppers, New Seasons is equip-
ping the University Park store
with location-based beacon tech-
nology. When it pilots the program
later this year, customers can opt
in to receive in-store mobile offers
which they say will engage cus-
tomers and enhance their shopping
experience.
The building’s exterior was de-
signed by Mackenzie and the store
interior was conceived by LRS
Architects and JB Consulting &
Design. Deacon Corp. managed
construction of the entire project.
In celebration of the store open-
ing New Seasons is supporting
through their Bag It Forward pro-
gram the Portland Parks & Rec-
reation’s Summer Playgrounds &
Lunches Program, which serves
Portland’s most vulnerable fam-
ilies, providing free lunches for
those in need to help bridge the
hunger gap created by school
breaks. In partnership with Port-
land-area school districts, the
Parks Bureau shared more than
100,000 free lunches at 26 sites
during the summer of 2015.
“Our Summer Playgrounds &
Lunches Program is very aligned
with New Seasons’ commitment
to investing in organizations that
increase access to fresh, healthy
food for children and families in
the neighborhood,” said Portland
Parks Commissioner Amanda
Fritz. “We cannot meet the need
in our community and achieve our
mission of eq-
uity and inclu-
sion without
valued spon-
sors including
New
Sea-
sons.”
PIR gearing up for biggest auto
swap meet on the West Coast
The 11th annual Portland In-
ternational Raceway Auto Swap
Meet will feature i ve miles of
unique, original stock, antique,
vintage and custom vehicles and
parts, and other auto-inspired
items on display or for sale, from
more than 1,500 vendors. The
event takes place on the racetrack
at 1940 N Victory Blvd., March
31 through April 2 from 7am to
5pm daily.
Event organizers are offering
a complimentary parts pick-up
area that stores purchased items
for the day, allowing consumers
to secure a way to retrieve them;
as well as a “haul and go” deliv-
ery system that transports pur-
chases directly to consumer’s ve-
hicles, provided they are parked
in the PIR parking lot. This do-
nation-based service raises funds
for the Community Transitional
School (CTS), a Portland-based
organization that provides educa-
tional services to area homeless
children.
The PIR Auto Swap Meet opens
one day prior to the Portland
Swap Meet at the Expo Center.
The two events are operated in-
dependently, but collectively
make up one of the largest auto
swap meet weekends on the West
Coast.
