Oryana Natural Foods Market will open a second location at the former Williamsburg Showcase Dinner Theatre on M-72 East next year. Oryana will lease the building and expects to open by fall 2016.

“We couldn’t be happier with the site,” says Oryana General Manager Steve Nance. “Not only are we able to sustainably re-use an existing building, but the new Oryana location will also have easy access from M-72 and US-31, plenty of parking and close proximity to the TART Trail. We are very excited to serve this part of the community!”

A portion of the new store’s financing will come from Oryana member-owners. The co-op will launch a $1 million capital campaign for the project and will offer members a chance to invest.

Like the current store on Tenth Street in Traverse City, the new location will be a full-service grocery store and café. The Acme location will feature fresh meat and seafood and an education/community room.
