DUBLIN, CA — World Market, a nationwide specialty retailer known for home goods and gourmet foods, will open at Hacienda Crossings in Dublin on Nov. 20, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce announced.
In June, the Hacienda Crossings shopping center announced that World Market would occupy a 17,310-square-foot store at 4906 Dublin Boulevard, the former location of the Any Mountain sporting goods store and DB Shoes.
The store will open with an official Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting at 8:45 a.m. Nov. 20, and open to the public at 9 a.m. The opening will be followed by a weekend of special events and promotions, including:
World Market first opened under the name Cost Plus Imports at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco in 1958, where they sold imported furniture. The store expanded as a franchise selling imported goods, gifts, furniture, and seasonal goods. It also became well-known for its gourmet markets, filled with cakes, cookies, and candy from around the world.
Today, World Market lists 253 stores across the country, including 53 locations in California. In the East Bay, World Market also has locations in Concord and Oakland. It also has locations in San Jose, Mountain View, San Mateo, and Napa. The original Fisherman's Wharf location closed in 2020.
