Looks Like Fresh & Easy is Opening a Store in Encino

The ever-expanding neighborhood market that is Fresh & Easy appears to be preparing to open a store in Encino. California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control records released today indicate the market's application for a beer & wine license.
When all is said and done, the new market can be found at 17150 Ventura Blvd. For those who don't catalog addresses in their heads, that's the Encino Town Center. More specifically, it's where Pier 1 Imports stands today (and before that, it was Staples).
