"The San Francisco Business Times reports that Michael Mina’s long-anticipated Indie Superette is gearing up to open in the Fillmore and Filbert Streets spot most recently occupied by the Real Food Co. grocery store. It’ll occupy 700 of the space’s 11,700 square feet, sharing room with an as-yet-unopened Shake Shack (3,650 square feet) and Rumble Fitness (6,583 square feet). According to the building owner, “a small bodega like Indie would only be feasible at below-market rents, and would effectively be subsidized by rents paid by Shake Shack and Rumble.” A spokesperson for Shake Shack declined to discuss conditions of the lease with Eater SF, but it’s worth noting that with an empire of 40 or so restaurants across the globe, Mina’s hardly a struggling small business that needs help to survive." - Eve Batey
