Yes it's open! The new Plaza at Gale Ranch shopping center at the corner of Bollinger Canyon Road and Dougherty is now open to the public.

Anchored by the most impressive, and certainly the largest, Safeway I have ever seen, this shopping center provides residents of Gale Ranch and Windemere with support that they have been crying out for.

Right now (early September) only Safeway is open, including the Safeway discount gas station. Many of the other units have tenants already though including a Peet's coffee shop and Cactus Jack's Bar and Grill. The Safeway store has a Starbuck's in an annex of to one side and also a sit down Sushi Bar as well as numerous food stations of varying kinds, both hot and cold. The success of this sh oping center is assured and the residents of Windemere and Gale Ranch are undoubtedly well pleased.
