Your Local Market is a locally owned and operated full-service grocer known for carrying local and organic products as well as mainstream brands.
I like Your Local Market, but I’m really wary of paying good money upfront for benefits in the next four years, especially when this story is posted just a couple inches away from another story letting us know of a business that went out of business after about a year.
Hi Vincent-
Thanks for the comment- and you’re right without question as all businesses technically are risks. We are however doing all we can with your local support to become a legacy company and brand founded here in Bellevue. Thanks for being our customer!
So what happens to the 4 year benefits if KDC decides to move forward with the Lincoln Square expansion in the next year or two? Does YLM have contingency relocation plans?
@K: That was my main worry as well. As I said, I like Your Local Market, and I have no doubt that they want to stick around. I’m just worried about the chance of them being kicked out of there by the developers. 🙁
When and if KDC asks us to relocate we will address this- however at a minimum we anticipate this to be in the 3 to 4 year range and have a private agreement with KDC in terms of our lease and relocation..so to answer your question yes, we have a plan in place.
Another great Farmers Market which kicks off June first is the Farmers Market at The Country Village in Bothell Wa (http://www.countryvillagebothell.com/content/farmers-market)
