It does not explain why the store is closing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">New Leaf did not respond to a request for more details.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Silver Creek location is New Leaf&#8217;s only store in Santa Clara County. The company also operates markets in Aptos, Capitola, Half Moon Bay and at two locations in Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">New Leaf traces its beginnings to a small Santa Cruz cooperative that opened in 1985 as Westside Community Market. The company specializes in natural and organic groceries, locally produced food and prepared meals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">New Leaf is part of Good Food Holdings, which also owns Bristol Farms, Lazy Acres Natural Market, Metropolitan Market and New Seasons Market.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:There&#039;s more to San Francisco with the Chronicle.
