Maybe OH is a good place for the discount Whole Foods concept.

Haggen already closing

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Just saw this article and thought of you (and the others on this thread) :http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/diet-tips/it-better-live-near-trader-joe-s-or-whole-foods
There are quite a few of them in Koreatown.
Only a few things are 40% off. It's mostly 10-20% off. And as NSR mentioned, even at 20% off, things are still more expensive than prices at rival grocery stores.
Honestly, the place is pretty depressing... not many customers and employee morale is pretty low. The rotting tuna and expired cheese and deli meats also turned me off. I didn't know you could legally sell expired stuff.
Interestingly, even the fixtures are for sale - the lighting, refrigerators, shelves, etc. I wonder if TIC is planning to scrap the supermarket concept altogether and replace it with something other than grocery.
Also...Pavilion's Bagels were awesome. Baked on site and fresh every morning. Haggen's used an outside vendor.

I think an upscale Korean market would be great.

Has TIC put an Asian themed grocer in any of its centers? Most of the ones I can think of are in non-TIC spaces. I really can't see anything but one of the large chains, but I think it will take a sweet deal from TIC for Ralphs to come (given how slowly Pavillion's worked). That said, if they get some sort of staggered lease increases / clauses in contract which will minimizes rent paid until OH builds out (or adjusts as OH builds out), it could work for both sides.
I am sure Pavillions presumed that was what was going to happen a lot sooner, but now you are looking at a pretty decent population covering the area by 2017 / 2018 (as I presume the next OH village will have started as well and the current villages will be built in).

The first 99 Ranch is in a TIC center.
And yes, Assi was put into the TIC center in Woodbridge but that was a failure of demographics/location.
The Farmers Direct which is Asian/Indian/Middle Eastern is also a TIC center but that store isn't doing too well either (they've changed their layout at least 2 or 3 times).

Lol, well sort of 20% off.
Bagels are a good example. The store haggen took over by us was a Von's. Bagels were 79 cents, which is the same price Haggen had them at until they raised prices about 3 weeks ago to 89 cents and then announced they're closing a bunch of store.
The primary difference is 3 weeks out of the month,it wasn't and there was either a just for you promo, vons club promo or sale on bagels and they where 2 for $1 or 59 cents each.
So the current haggen 20% off store closing price is still 20% higher than the usual price you really paid at vons.
