Pacifica’s Linda Mar Shopping Center is trading one national chain for another, as Dollar Tree moves into a 19,085-square-foot unit facing Highway 1. The discount retailer has signed a lease for the former drugstore bay, keeping a big-box player in the lineup and giving neighborhood shoppers another low-cost option near the beach. The lease was reported today.
Deal Confirmed By CoStar
According to CoStar, Dollar Tree’s new lease at Linda Mar Shopping Center covers roughly 19,085 square feet at 1400 Linda Mar Blvd in Pacifica. CoStar identifies Kimco Realty as the property’s landlord and credits local brokers with marketing the vacancy. The outlet’s reporting centers on the size of the space and its precise location within the shopping center.
Which Unit Dollar Tree Will Occupy
Kimco Realty lists a roughly 19,085-square-foot big-box space in its Linda Mar Shopping Center marketing materials that had been identified as Rite Aid, with the overall center shown at about 168,231 square feet of gross leasable area. That lineup strongly suggests Dollar Tree is taking over the former pharmacy box rather than a smaller inline storefront. The same materials emphasize that the property is grocery-anchored, a detail that matters for both tenant mix and steady foot traffic.
Why The Space Became Available
Rite Aid’s national wind-down earlier this year left a trail of large pharmacy spaces on the market, and lists of store closures included the Linda Mar address, Fast Company reported. Rite Aid’s own customer pages for the Pacifica location now direct shoppers to replacement pharmacies and describe changes to the company’s store network, reflecting that broader pullback. Those shifts opened the door for another national chain, in this case Dollar Tree, to step into the vacant box.
What It Means For Pacifica Shoppers
For Linda Mar residents, the Dollar Tree deal could translate into more low-price household goods and convenience items close to home, while also helping shore up the shopping center’s tenancy by filling a prominent empty space. Dollar Tree, a Virginia-based discount retailer with a substantial national footprint, typically looks to neighborhood centers like Linda Mar when expanding. Locals can expect to see tenant-improvement work at the former big-box bay in the coming months as the space is built out for its new occupant.
