R.I.P. Sun Valley Market: UPDATE

As I mentioned before, the Sun Valley Market is no more. It's soon to be replaced by something called Room Service, a "high-end food & wine market" (at least according to the guy who designed the logo).

I was talking about it with my friend, Diana, and she said they were going to include home delivery. The next day, I saw this as I was walking back from my Sunday adventures:
10th Ave, SF, CA, 1/29/12
How long has that been there?! I have really got to start paying attention...

The only website I could find for a store called Room Service is a furniture store in Hayes Valley that's part of some mini-chain.

BUT, I Googled the phone number pictured above and got this. So, they're in the phone book at least!

Will a fancy food & wine home delivery/personal shopping service fly in these belt-tightening times? I guess we'll just have to wait & see.

Thanks to Diana Brown for help with this report!

R.I.P. Sun Valley Market

Donna and I were walking home last Saturday night and I noticed that the Sun Valley Market sign was gone. This was on the door (click the pic for a better view)
Irving Street, SF, CA, 1/21/12
Don't let the Sun Valley Market go down on me...
The note says:
Thank you all for your business these past 20+ years. We will truly miss this neighborhood and the friendships that were made throughout these years.
A new exciting store will take our place in the coming months... Please check back soon. - Sun Valley
(last word obscured by ADT sticker. But, I'm pretty sure it's "Market")
This has replaced the old sign...
Irving St, SF, CA, 1/21/12
Say WHAT?!
I did a little Googling and found an image that matched the logo. That image led to something called Dribble. Apparently, Adrian Nita is the designer of this-here logo. And according to Adrian:
RoomService is a new high-end fine food and wine market located in San Francisco, CA.
This concept and idea is going to be marketed to people btwn ages 25 - 60.
Goodbye, Sun Valley Market. You were great when one needed a six-pack of beer or a bottle of fernet after midnight. You will indeed be missed.
