The old Sub Pop storefront by the Amazon Spheres is trading vinyl for yogurt cups. Go Greek Yogurt is set to open its first Washington shop this winter at 2130 7th Avenue in downtown Seattle, taking over the Denny Triangle space that until recently housed the record label’s retail outpost. The debut continues a run of retail-to-food conversions in the neighborhood as quick-service spots chase daytime office and tourist traffic, and downtown workers and visitors can expect thick, Mediterranean-style yogurt and frozen-yogurt options when the doors open later this year.
The move surfaced in a company statement and local reporting, which peg the new downtown location for "this winter" at 2130 7th Avenue. According to MyNorthwest, the shop is taking over the former Sub Pop space that the label vacated earlier this spring. MyNorthwest also notes that Go Greek Yogurt already operates internationally and has additional expansion plans in the works.
On its own site, Go Greek Yogurt describes itself as "an authentic yogurt bar and cafe" built around probiotic-packed offerings and Mediterranean flavors. The company lists several existing California locations alongside others marked as coming soon, and it highlights quick counter service plus a menu centered on strained Greek yogurt, frozen yogurt and smoothies. That setup is pitched as a natural fit for grab-and-go downtown customers, per Go Greek Yogurt.
Sub Pop's Move To The Waterfront
Sub Pop closed its 7th Avenue shop inside Amazon’s re:Invent tower in March, wrapping up its stint in the Denny Triangle, and is shifting retail operations to the waterfront’s Maritime Building at 908 Alaskan Way. As reported by KIRO, the label has filed plans for a roughly 2,688-square-foot outlet in the Maritime Building following its exit from the 7th Avenue space.
Permits Signal Work Underway
City permit trackers already show tenant-improvement work linked to a "GO GREEK" restaurant at 2130 7th Avenue. A commercial permit (7136700-CN) was recorded as pending in early June with an estimated value near $75,000. Building records compiled by local construction trackers point to a change of use from retail to restaurant and note interior build-out and mechanical work in progress, suggesting a timeline that lines up with the company’s winter opening target. The permit can be viewed via Building Seattle.
Menu And Model
Go Greek Yogurt’s website lays out a menu built around thick Greek yogurt, Greek frozen yogurt and smoothies, along with topped cups and health-focused choices aimed at lunch and snack-time crowds. The company’s own language, that it seeks to "nourish both the body and soul," underscores how the chain wants to position itself as a quick, lighter alternative to heavier downtown fare, according to Go Greek Yogurt.
The 7th Avenue location sits within an easy walk of Amazon’s Spheres and the re:Invent tower, in a cluster of offices that local coverage says houses roughly 5,000 employees, a built-in audience that has made the block appealing to grab-and-go concepts. Whether Go Greek Yogurt pulls in the same mix of customers that once browsed Sub Pop’s racks or a different, largely daytime office crowd will come into focus once construction wraps and the new tenant opens for business this winter, per local reporting and permit activity.
