Category: Shops at the Ridge Phase 1 and 2
The Rockridge Shopping Center on Broadway sign August 3,2012
You’d think TRC would have placed the Safeway logo at the top of the new sign as it was before or “the Ridge” logo as was done with the temporary fabric sign installed in 2020.
The Shops on the Ridge new sign on Broadway
Note that the businesses at Shop of the Ridge are mostly food or personal care with only one retail store, Pet Food Express. I surmise from this many retailers are not opening up new stores because they believe it is hopeless to compete with online businesses. Particularly galling to brick and mortar retailers is their unpaid role as showrooms for online retailers (customers visit a store to browse and ask questions about a product then buy it online).

The fabric sign installed this summer over the old Shops on the Ridge sign didn’t last long.
