A New Farm-Fresh Gourmet Grocery Store Is Opening In The Arts District
The Manhattan Beach location of Grow (via Facebook)
()
Because if there's one thing the hip neighborhood is lacking, it's another place to buy organic kale and sustainably-raised meat.
Grow, a new farm-friendly grocery store and deli is opening later this month in the Arts District, according to the L.A. Times. On October 24, the 5,300-square-foot, family-run market will open in the shiny, new One Santa Fe building—not far down the road from gourmet grocer Urban Radish.
In addition to sustainable meats, cheeses and produce, shoppers will be able to pick up craft beer and wine, fresh flowers and cold-pressed juice. There will also be bulk food bins and a deli for freshly-made sandwiches and salads. They've also partnered with Instacart to offer delivery around the neighborhood.
With new restaurants, breweries and tea rooms seeming to open weekly in the Arts District, you might wonder if the neighborhood's luxury loft-dwellers ever need to eat in. But just in case they need to stock up on locally-sourced produce, seafood or cheeses, Grow will be there.

The soon-to-open Arts District shop will be the second location opened by husband-and-wife team Barry and Kathy Fisher, who opened their Manhattan Beach shop in 2006. And all snark aside, they sound like a really sweet bunch who kicked off the whole business after their son set up a cherry stand on their front lawn.
Growis located at 300 S. Santa Fe Ave. in the Arts District, (213) 346-9488. Store hours will be 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
