Good Earth Natural Foods to Anchor Northgate Town Square With 2027 San Rafael Store

The grocer will overhaul the former Rite Aid at 1500 Northgate Drive into a 21,000-square-foot market.

Overview

  • Good Earth confirmed it signed a lease for the Northgate site, marking its third store after Fairfax and Mill Valley.
  • The company will expand the building to roughly 21,000–21,300 square feet, push out the west wall for a new entrance, and fully rebuild the interior layout.
  • Permitting for the remodel is expected to take about six months, with the store targeted to open in spring 2027.
  • The San Rafael location is projected to create more than 200 jobs, according to the company’s announcement.
  • The store anchors the council‑approved Northgate Town Square redevelopment, which includes up to 1,422 homes and a 57,000‑square‑foot town square, as initial demolition preparations begin and the first phase runs through 2029.
