Luke’s Local Is Taking Over a Huge Ninth Avenue Location in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Reported by the San Francisco Business Times in January 2025, owner Luke Oppenheim had already secured the lease at 1266 Ninth Avenue for the former Lemonade location; Lemonade closed in 2019 and that outpost was the restaurant chain’s biggest San Francisco site at some 3,500 square feet. Permit signage outside the building confirms the new grocer is coming to the Inner Sunset's busiest corridor, and the nearly six-year vacancy at the address is notable given the block's other tenants and its status as a gateway to Golden Gate Park. The forthcoming fourth location is expected to be similarly sized to the chain's other outposts and, based on the brand's 15-year run, will likely offer high-end produce, coffee, sandwiches to-go, and goods from local producers such as chocolatiers and bakers that it sometimes is the only source carrying. The operator did not respond to interview requests before publication, and the shop is slated to open in May." - Paolo Bicchieri
