Erewhon opened a store in Thousand Oaks, California, at 2150 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., its first storefront outside Los Angeles County and its 14th location. The grocer plans to open a store in downtown Los Angeles in June 2027 and another location outside Los Angeles County in Costa Mesa, California, in September 2027. Erewhon also plans to reopen its Pacific Palisades location in January, nearly two years after wildfire damage closed it.

Why this matters: Erewhon's expansion could increase competition for independent grocers in Thousand Oaks, Costa Mesa, and nearby communities. Its planned reopening also changes the local grocery options in Pacific Palisades.
