Skyline Community Market co-owner Brian Ahmed and his daughter, Daliha, stand in front of the mural outside the new store on Oakland’s Skyline Boulevard.A new Oakland grocery store is hoping to woo customers away from the big chains. Skyline Community Market has been steadily gaining customers in the Oakland hills since it opened last November.
The mural is fitting, as the first thing you see when you enter the store is rows of fresh fruits and vegetables. The market also carries an eclectic selection of beer and wine along with pantry staples and Mediterranean food for take-out.He says he and his brother hope to draw shoppers up the hill from the nearby Safeway in the Lincoln Square Center. Ironically, the opening of Lincoln Square is what lured shops and customers away from the once-thriving strip mall the new market calls home.
