Friday will see the first opening of a traditional grocery store in Oakland in a decade. This IGA will open in The Strand Building at 11 am this Friday. It will be small, at only 4,000 square feet. I have previously ridiculed tiny grocery stores, so it is interesting that a new one is opening just two days after that post. Well at least I have been served a message that I do not have the most influential blog in Pittsburgh.
According to the
Allegheny County Assessment Office, the property was purchased in January of 2005 for $2 million. There is also an apartment component to the building with 60 residential tenants. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article about the store is
here.
