Goodbye, Sun Valley Market; Hello, Room Service

When last we left Sun Valley Market, it was transforming like a pupa in a cocoon into the elegant "fine food & liquor" market/delivery dynamo, Room Service.


Well, it's done. They even have a website now: http://www.sfroomservice.com/

As for the brick & mortar itself? It's pretty much the same place. They cleaned it. Did up the floors. Put in new shelves for the booze and put in a nice new counter.

At this point, the inventory of "fine food and liquors" would appear to be what's left over from the Sun Valley Market days. Like, literally. But, maybe we'll see some new stuff soon.

No fernet so far. Sun Valley Market used to have fernet. Room Service doesn't have it. At least not yet.

But, for now: if you consider Red Vines & Corn Nuts "fine food"; want someone to bring them to you; and you're willing to pay for it- give 'em a click!

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)

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...

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.
