St. Louis-based urban grocery chain Fields Foods is expanding again with a new store planned for the Lofts@Euclid building in the Central West End.
Fields Foods will occupy 8,186 square feet of space at the property at 625 North Euclid Avenue, the chain said Tuesday. The store will open later this year.
"We are excited to be the corner store in a tremendous development like Lofts@Euclid, where residents can literally take the elevator down and shop in their pajamas,” Fields Foods owner Chris Goodson said in a statement. “We are equally excited to work with many others to crack the ‘Delmar Divide’ and continue our mission of turning food deserts into former food deserts.”
Developed by Cullinan Properties, the Lofts@Euclid opened in 2016 and has 86 residential lofts.
Fields Foods opened its first store, just south of downtown, at the beginning of 2014. The Central West End location is about a fourth of the size as the initial location.
Another Fields Foods is soon to open at 6300 Clayton Avenue in Dogtown in a $25 million, 100-unit apartment complex called Hibernia that is expected to finish construction before the end of the year.
And earlier this month, Fields Foods said it planned to open a grocery store at 1706 Washington Avenue downtown.
Goodson said he's attracted to opening new stores in mixed-use developments where there are an influx of young professionals looking for convenient grocery options.
Goodson and Cullinan are also in discussions about another Fields Foods in the Streets of St. Charles in St. Charles, a mixed-use development built and owned by Cullinan.
