It will be neighbors with Bear Flag Fish Co., which is taking over the former Santa Monica Seafood.<\/p>\n<p>The Erewhon website indicates the store will debut in September 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation has run high in recent weeks that the grocery store \u2014 with a name that\u2019s an anagram of \u201cnowhere\u201d \u2014 was coming to the OC. The Register made several attempts to reach the company to confirm the rumors, to no avail. Erewhon essentially avoids contact with traditional media, instead relying on social media influencers to hype its $22 smoothies and $79 matcha powder.<\/p>\n<p>Shoppers at Erewhon also can spend even more money ($200) for a yearly membership that affords them perks like free smoothies and early access to new items.<\/p>\n<p>So, just how expensive is Erewhon? A single mango is about $7 or $8 for a bell pepper. A dozen organic \u201cnest-laid and hand gathered\u201d eggs are $15. Prepared green beans with mushrooms and cabbage runs $22 a pound or there\u2019s the ready-to-eat, jerk-seasoned chicken for $28 a pound. A Keto-inspired breakfast sandwich is $15.80. A raw \u201cgooey\u201d brownie is $10.<\/p>\n<p>Its move to Orange County comes as Erewhon expands in the region. It recently opened in West Hollywood with another store opening May 20 in Glendale.<\/p>\n<p>The company is capitalizing on a customer following that leans into celebrity influencers. Its Hailey Bieber \u201cStrawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie\u201d was so popular it reportedly raked in $800,000 a month for Erewhon. The grocer removed Bieber\u2019s name from the smoothie in late 2025, the Los Angeles Times reported. And Kai Trump, granddaughter to the president, gleefully shared on social media that she took her Secret Service detail to an Erewhon store in late March.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Whole Foods opening in Newport Beach<\/h4>\n<p>Whole Foods is opening a second store in Newport Beach, claiming the spot occupied by a Ralphs grocery store at Westcliff Plaza.<\/p>\n<p>No timeline for its debut was provided by Irvine Co., the property owner.

No timeline was provided for the closure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis decision has been extremely difficult, and it reflects not only our own circumstances but the broader challenges facing independent bicycle shops and small businesses across the country,\u201d the post said. \u201cDespite our best efforts, the financial impact ultimately made it impossible for us to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The owners pointed out how the shop became more than just a place to buy bicycles or have them serviced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was built around creating a family. For over 25 years, this community has shaped us, supported us, and filled our days with purpose. The friendships, the conversations, the shared rides, and the joy that cycling brings are what made this place truly special \u2026 Though our doors are closing, the heart of this place lives on in all of you. Thank you for giving us a home, a purpose, and the joy of the ride,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the bicycles and their parts sold in the United States are made overseas, particularly in China and Taiwan, according to statistics compiled by Statista. The rising electric-bicycle trend is also putting pressure on traditional bicycle sales.

In one day, volunteers helped assemble more than 2,000 curriculum kits and book bags. The bags were made possible with $160,000 in donations to cover the costs of the kits. Think Together said the annual event \u201cbrings the community together around a shared goal: ensuring students have the tools they need to continue learning and thriving all summer long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Status Update is compiled and written by Business Editor Samantha Gowen.
