Green Zebra Grocery on Wednesday shared long-awaited details on the store it has planned for Southeast Portland.

The store at 50th and Division will mark the mini-grocery chain's fourth in the city, and is slated to open in late 2017. The store will open at the site of the chain's former business offices.

In an announcement on its website, the grocer explained that the building at the site was just sold, and a mixed-use development with 126 residential units will rise up in its place, with a 7,000-square-foot Green Zebra on the ground floor.

Meanwhile, the grocer will open two stores this year to accompany its Kenton store in North Portland:

The

Green Zebra, founded by former New Seasons chief executive Lisa Sedlar, offers convenience-size stores filled with items typical of a full-size grocer, including fresh produce, growler fill-up stations and deli counters.

Though it had a bumpy start, the grocer seems to have found momentum. November 2014 marked the startup's first profitable month, and the grocer has been busy announcing new stores since.

Green Zebra seems to be following in New Seasons' footsteps, opening an average of one new store in every market per year, while setting its sights on Seattle and California.
