BUILDING BLOCKS

SAN DIEGO—Barons Market announces that its North Park location is now open to the public. With its first urban store, the family-owned grocery store strived to create a market with as much character and charisma as the people who live in the community. Formerly a Fresh & Easy, the location at 3231 E. University Avenue becomes the market's seventh Southern California location, joining three San Diego County stores in Point Loma, Rancho Bernardo and Alpine, and three Inland Empire stores in Murrieta, Wildomar and Temecula. Barons Market North Park brings more than 40 jobs to the neighborhood for which it prioritized hiring locally. This opening comes on the heels of Barons Market's Murrieta store, which opened in early 2016. This marks the first time the market has opened two locations in one year.
