CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) - A San Francisco-based micro food hall concept, Local Kitchens, is expanding its presence in the greater Sacramento area with a new site planned for Citrus Heights.

Updated leasing materials published by the property owner/manager Merlone-Geier for Sunrise Village in Citrus Heights now undergoing a major renovation, show the micro food hall will occupy a 2,030-square-foot space in a stand-alone building in the Sunrise Village Shopping Center at 7855 Madison Avenue in Suite C. Little Caesars Pizza is an adjacent tenant.

Local Kitchens was founded by Jon Goldsmith and Andrew Munday, both who were colleagues at DoorDash. Their concept helps restaurants expand beyond their brick-and-mortar locations. Each location houses a variety of individual concept restaurants under one roof, allowing customers to mix and match their orders into a single order for dine in, takeout or delivery. Convenient online and mobile ordering, paired with fast and friendly service is offered.

Sunrise Village at 5425 Sunrise Boulevard includes businesses such as Joann Fabric and Crafts, Rite Aid, a planned City Sports Club and a 38,000-square-foot grocery store.

Press representatives for Local Kitchens in San Francisco and Merlone-Geier, the property owner, were unavailable for comment.

According to the Local Kitchens, their concept is described as ideal to meet the needs of families, foodies, and large groups with a wide variety of cuisines from the best local restaurant brands to accommodate every palette and preference, all with seamless online ordering and fast, reliable service. Great dishes from multiple restaurant brands can then be available all under one roof, prepared fresh to order by Local Kitchens’ culinary team.

Local Kitchens, which operates six locations in the Bay Area, has opened at the Highland Reserve Marketplace in Roseville – its first location outside the Bay Area. A second Roseville location in the Renaissance Creek shopping center along Sierra College Boulevard opened earlier this spring. Additional locations are in the works for Folsom and Natomas, according to the company.

The Roseville location features food from five different specialty restaurants: Señor Sisig, Curry Up Now, The Melt, Nash & Proper and Garden of Eat’n. The last two – Nash & Proper and Garden of Eat’n – are popular Sacramento-area originals. Which restaurants will be featured in the new Citrus Heights location has yet to be announced.
