"Despite our efforts, the landlord has been unresponsive, and we do not anticipate improvements that would allow us to operate successfully."
"Draeger said that both stores "continue to perform well," adding that the Danville closure will help financially strengthen the overall company."
"At this time, he doesn't anticipate opening another grocery store but said that "if a location is compelling, we would consider it.""
Draeger's Market permanently closed its Danville Blackhawk Plaza location after sluggish foot traffic and increasing vacancies at the shopping center. The owner cited alleged landlord unresponsiveness and deteriorating property conditions as reasons the store could not operate successfully. The chain has reduced from four stores to two after closing a decades-old San Mateo location last year. Remaining stores in Menlo Park and Los Altos reportedly continue to perform well, and the Danville closure is expected to strengthen the company financially. The Blackhawk Plaza landlord faces a separate lawsuit and questions about the property's future ownership and financing.
