Bristol Farms Opens Santa Monica Store
Bristol Farms has opened its newest store in Santa Monica, Calif., in a former grocery store location that was closed in late 2012.
“Our new Santa Monica location will be the perfect addition to the Bristol Farms family of stores,” said Kevin Davis, president and CEO of Bristol Farms. “The extraordinary neighborhood and surrounding community will be an exceptional fit for a high quality fresh food store like Bristol Farms. Our best tasting, freshest food product mix will be unique to the area, and will fulfill a need that the Santa Monica community is hungry for."
The store places a heavy emphasis on fresh departments, including deli and cheese, restaurant-quality grab-and-go foods, full-service specialty meat, seafood and sushi departments, and locally grown produce. “This store location and size offers us the opportunity to expand our total offering to provide even more for our customers' everyday shopping needs,” added Davis.
The store will feature an all-new decor package that "celebrates and highlights the spirit and passion of the Santa Monica community in a fun and exciting manner,” said Davis. “We want to be Santa Monica’s everyday, locally grown, community-driven, ultra-fresh food store.”
