Keil's Fresh Food Store in San Carlos operates at 7403 Jackson Dr, San Diego 92119, anchoring the Jackson Drive commercial strip that serves the residential neighborhoods between Lake Murray and Navajo Road. Rick Keil opened this second location in the early 2000s after the family's original 1990 acquisition of a former Vons on Clairemont Drive, building both stores on a three-generation grocery lineage that traces back to Otto Keil's Pacific Northwest markets. The store stocks what it bills as the largest selection of gluten-free products in the San Diego area, filling dedicated shelf sections across multiple aisles that serve the celiac and gluten-sensitive population around Windmill Farms Market and the greater Del Cerro–San Carlos corridor. The produce department orders through Nature's Produce out of Vernon, California, and Jessie Garcia has run the San Carlos produce operation for over a decade, cutting fruit fresh each morning for the grab-and-go cases. An in-house bakery turns out handmade cakes, breads, cookies, and specialty items on-site — production that most independent grocers outsource to commissaries. A full-service deli produces sandwiches to order, with the tuna sandwich drawing repeat traffic from the surrounding residential blocks. The meat department runs fresh-cut counters rather than pre-packaged trays, and a salad bar and floral section fill out the perimeter departments. Cowles Mountain trailhead traffic filters down Navajo Road into the Jackson Drive shopping zone, and Pure Press covers the juice-and-coffee side of that post-hike refueling pattern in San Carlos. SNAP/EBT acceptance covers all qualifying grocery items, and store manager Brian Haire — who started as an employee the day the first Keil's location opened — oversees the San Carlos floor.
