Erewhon, Los Angeles’ famous organic grocery store, is officially being built in Glendale, and residents are already buzzing with excitement. Known for its luxury products, health-focused meals, and celebrity favorite smoothies, the store has become a viral phenomenon across Southern California. Some of Erewhon’s popular products include their unique smoothies, prepared foods like salads and sliders, and a wide range of other organic groceries.
The new Erewhon location is expected to open sometime towards the end of this year, on 520 N Glendale Ave, joining the list of upscale businesses in the city. Construction has already started, and many people are eager to see what the store will look like once it is complete.
“I’ve always wanted to try Erewhon, but even the closest location would always be far. With this new location, that won’t be a problem anymore,” freshman Toma Kazarian said. Others on social media have shared similar excitement, saying Glendale’s new Erewhon could bring more attention to the area.
Erewhon is known for drawing crowds, especially younger people and influencers who visit to try the famous smoothies or film content for TikTok. Many expect the new store to become a social hub for locals, and in turn, a boost for nearby restaurants and shops.
People are already speculating about what the Glendale location might look like. Will it feature an outdoor cafe? A smoothie bar with limited blends? What about a rooftop area for the shoppers? While the design and exact opening date haven’t been revealed, the expectations are sky-high.
With its popularity, some residents also wonder how the new traffic and parking demand will affect the area. Erewhon stores in other cities are often busy, and Glendale’s already popular downtown could become even more crowded. “I can’t wait for Erewhon’s Glendale location, but as a person who lives so close to it, I already know the traffic in the area is going to be crazy,” junior Lina Gevorgyan said.
Still, most reactions so far have been positive. The new Erewhon represents Glendale’s growing reputation as a modern and trendy city. As construction continues, many residents are watching closely and counting down the days until the grand opening.
For now, one thing is clear: Glendale is about to get a taste of LA’s most talked-about store, and the community can’t wait. As the opening date gets closer, people are planning their first visits, whether it is to try the famous smoothies or just to see what all the hype is about. With this kind of excitement growing every day, everyone’s ready to see what Erewhon will bring to the city.
