I am pinching myself to acknowledge this good outcome. Country Sun is the heart of California Avenue. It is the go to retailer for organic fruits and vegetables. The staff including Kevin, Parker and others are outstanding. Some of us were literally praying for this save. I have gratitude for the investors who came forward to keep Country Sun the special presence it is for our community.

Country Sun carries the best collard greens at a give away price. Adequate bicycle parking right in front.

Such good good news, and want to echo 'Thank you!" to the people who stepped forward to take over the lease. Please let Country Sun managers and employees know if there are things you would like carried. If there is enough demand for what we want we can help shape a store than can withstand some of the economic and convenience pressures. Here is the link to their web page--at the bottom right is a suggestion box! Web Link

Hoooray!!!! I'm happy to hear this good news. Regarding the whole parking debate, I have always parked in the garage behind Country Sun, even before that section of Cal Ave was closed, and have been able to get in and out pretty quickly.

Very pleased to hear this, we should be able to keep all popular stores open.
If only there was a way to know what was happening before closures are announced and we can do something before it's too late.
