"Patrick Mills, co-CEO of Bi-Rite, confirmed to SFGATE that Bi-Rite has engaged in a lease at 6001 California St. but added that nothing has been finalized at this time while the company reviews "contingencies" that "need to be resolved." Planning records show approved permits for upgrades ranging from additional toilets to improved accessibility features totaling $380,000."
"The property at 6001 California St., listed by Maven, features 3,481 square feet on the ground floor and an additional 645 square feet on the mezzanine level. The historic building also has a vintage neon sign of the former Appel & Dietrich Fine Food Market that once operated on-site."
"Bi-Rite opened its first San Francisco market in the Mission District in 1940, under the ownership of brothers Joe and Bill Cordano. In 1964, the market sold to brothers Jack and Ned Mogannam, who transformed Bi-Rite into a "reliable, friendly neighborhood corner store," according to the business website."
Bi-Rite Market, a San Francisco gourmet grocery chain, is expanding into the Richmond District by leasing the former 6001 California Market space at California Street and 22nd Avenue. Permit applications reveal approved renovations totaling $380,000, including accessibility improvements and additional facilities. Co-CEO Patrick Mills confirmed the lease engagement while noting contingencies require resolution before finalization. The 4,126-square-foot property features ground floor and mezzanine space within a historic building displaying a vintage neon sign from its previous tenant, Appel & Dietrich Fine Food Market. If plans proceed as scheduled, the store will open in 2027, becoming Bi-Rite's fourth location. The chain, founded in 1940, has expanded significantly under the Mogannam family's ownership since 1964.
