BRENTWOOD, CA – The City of Brentwood is welcoming Namaste Plaza, an international grocery retailer offering tropical foods and specialty ingredients from around the world. The new 7,000-square-foot store opened at Lone Tree Crossings on Friday (6842 Lone Tree Way), marking owner Kalyan Veerapaneni’s third Bay Area location. City officials celebrated their grand opening.
Namaste Plaza operates as a franchise, with individual owners operating their own stores. Veerapaneni opened his first Namaste Plaza store more than 20 years ago in Dublin, followed by a second location in San Ramon. The Brentwood store expands access to culturally diverse grocery options, particularly for Brentwood’s growing South Asian community.
“Namaste Plaza is proud to open our third Bay Area store in Brentwood,” said Kalyan Veerapaneni, owner of Namaste Plaza. “We offer a wide variety of tropical foods, drinks, spices, and everyday essentials that reflect flavors and traditions from India and across Asia, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. We look forward to serving Brentwood families for many years to come.”
Namaste Plaza will carry a range of specialty and tropical products commonly found in international markets, supporting residents seeking ingredients and foods from their cultural traditions, as well as anyone interested in exploring new cuisines. Veerapaneni also shared plans to add a restaurant later this year, further expanding dining and gathering options at the site.
“Brentwood’s strength is in the people who call it home, and our community continues to grow more diverse every year,” shared City Manager D. Harold Duffey. “Namaste Plaza helps meet a real need by bringing more international food to Brentwood, and it’s another example of how we’re building a city where everyone can feel seen, welcomed, and served.”
“Brentwood continues to be a strong location for business investment, supported by a growing economy and a customer base that continues to expand,” added Economic Development Manager Ricardo Noguera. “Welcoming Namaste Plaza to Lone Tree Crossings reflects that momentum, and continued interest from businesses across the San Francisco Bay Area to capture a growing community like Brentwood. We look forward to the local jobs, increased economic activity, and new shopping options it will bring to our community.”
