After years of searching for a larger location, San Luis Obispo’s New Frontiers is moving and expanding.
Currently located on East Foothill Boulevard, the natural foods and products store takes up less than 15,000 square feet. Moving into Circuit City’s old location at 1531 Froom Ranch Way, the shop will expand into 32,800 square feet.
“We have outgrown our present location,” said Vice President Jake Collier. “We will now be able to expand our food service and seating area.”
With the move, the store will add two large salad bars, a sushi bar, and a station for made-to-order stir-fry. The new location will also offer hamburgers, hot dogs, coffee, smoothies, and gelato.
A community room will provide space to hold meetings, events, seminars, and cooking classes. And New Frontiers’ new location provides space for an outdoor patio.
Currently on schedule, Collier anticipates the new spot will open before Thanksgiving. The Foothill Boulevard location will close, but may re-open in the future.
