EMERYVILLE, Calif. – A new specialty grocery store has opened in the East Bay.
Tokyo Central officially opened its doors at Emeryville’s Bay Street shopping center following a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday morning. The San Francisco Chronicle reported there were 700 people waiting in line at 10 a.m.
Emeryville Mayor Sukhdeep Kaur attended the event, welcoming the store to the city.
Kaur said the opening represents more than the launch of a new business, pointing to the company’s focus on community connections.
