Sucks for existing tenants. Sounds like rent is going to increase big time!

How awful does Grocery Outlet sound? I thought a Whole Foods 365 or even Trader Joe's would have done best.

Since a Trader Joes is at University Center and also on Culver/Walnut, I think that's too close.
The Grocery Outlet in Costa Mesa seems to get positive Yelp reviews.

Visited the Grocery Outlet today at their grand opening and was, as expected, underwhelmed. The store reminds me of a smaller Smart & Final, which looks like another potential vacancy in about a year.
On a positive note, the outdoor areas are pleasant looking with a nice variety of seating arrangements. This area could be enjoyable on a cooler day since the shaded areas are limited. I?m looking forward to the Lost Bean and hopefully Sessions will up their breakfast offerings.

Lost Bean! I need to check out this remodeled plaza. Only store I would go to back in the day there was radio shack.

Heh. What about Pavilions? And was it Penguin's or Heidi's frozen yogurt?
It's nice they are adding a Yogurtland but Sticky Fingers closed, that place was there forever... and Yogurtland doesn't serve Hawaiian shave ice.
Sticky Fingers...Catarina's was the original. There was the pizza place with the arcade area on the 2nd floor (forget what the pizza place was called) where champagne's was (and obviously Chevy's). Heidi's was a yogurt place in Irvine, but I can't remember if that shopping center is where Heidi's actually was. There was also a restaurant on the other side (Radio Shack side) right when you entered the shopping center (don't remember what it was though).irvinehomeowner said:

I believe it was Penguin's.
The restaurant was Asian Noodle but it was a different restaurant before that. There was also Knowlwood's back in the day... and next to Radio Shack was a fabric store.
I don't remember Catarina's... or the pizza place. I know that there was comic book shop there next to the movie theater for a short while.
Also noticed that Kumon took over the spot where the Rainbow Kids hair salon was so does that mean that also closed down?

Rainbow kids is being replaced by Sharkey's Haircutting. Catarina's is where Sticky Fingers in and was literally the exact same set-up, but just had a different name (when it was sold it was renamed). I want to say the Pizza Place was a Northwood pizza but I'm pretty sure I am wrong.irvinehomeowner said:

I was curious about this remodel so we ate at Ruby's the other day.
The plaza area is really nice and I like how you can look out over the flake.
Once the other stores open up, this could be a nice destination plaza. They should go old school and add an arcade.
We went to the Grocery Outlet too. Not sure why the negativity as we actually found a few things to buy and the prices are good on the brand name stuff. They don't take Amex yet but I hope they stick around as it's a nice quick place to shop for the area if people don't want to drive or have to get something after Power Core Yoga or Kumon class. They had organic milk for $2.99 which is much cheaper than my local Stater Bros in Tustin Legacy.
