MacPherson's Fruit & Produce

"This staple of not just the Beacon Hill neighborhood but all of Seattle was forced to close in 2023 by rising costs. However, the fruit and produce market re-opened in March of 2024 to Seattle’s delight. While it’s not exactly a restaurant, per se, any good neighbor knows this is the spot to stop for snacks on a busy day of errands, before heading out on a road trip, or when you need to bring a host gift to a dinner party." - Laura LeMoon

"In September, Beacon Hill’s MacPherson’s Fruit and Produce announced that it was closing due to a combination of economic factors making it harder to stay in business and owner Greg MacPherson’s desire to retire." - Harry Cheadle

"Produce, spices, chips, snacks. It’s also our moral obligation to note that this fruit stand is across the street from La Tienda Mexicana El Oaxaque, where you can, and should, grab some delicious Mexican roasted corn. Open 6am-8pm daily. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"MacPherson’s Fruit & Produce, a neighborhood icon on the corner of 15th Avenue and Columbian Way, has announced that it will be closing next month. It’s running a “going out of business sale” on many items as it tries to shed its inventory before closing on October 8. Manager Elias Benitez told the Seattle Times that the rising costs of produce made it hard for the shop to maintain the low prices it was known for. Bookkeeper Marilyn Dimalanta told the South Seattle Emerald that this higher overhead made it impossible for MacPherson’s to pay employees as the legal minimum wage rises and a labor shortage gives service industry workers more employment options." - Harry Cheadle
