Portland-based New Seasons Market announced they will close their Ballard location at the end of the month. The company has been acquired by a South Korean grocer called Good Food Holdings. It opened less than two years ago.

The location is less than a mile from eight other grocery stores, including a new PCC Community Market. 

New Seasons said it will help employees  find jobs at Metropolitan Market stores around Seattle or at New Seasons stores in the Portland area, where its brand will remain on stores.
