Orchard Hills will be getting a Haggen grocery store. They will be taking over Pavilions in May. According the the article, Haggens is a cross between Wholefoods and Safeway. I'm looking forward to the change.

I guess this didn't last long. Haggens on Portola to close in the next 60 days.

I wonder what TIC will do to lure a supermarket back into OH. Hard to sell OH as a "premier" village without a neighborhood grocery store.
Don't think they would have that much of a problem. Haggen kind of wimped out after they forced their way into the existing Pavilions. Any reasonable supermarket chain would see the potential of the area with all of the increasing population in the area. Also, it looks like TIC has been getting all chummy with Whole Foods with the recent addition near Los Olivos, so I wouldn't be surprised if TIC lured them in. The location does meet a good lot of the requirements (taken from the Whole Foods website) :
?Typically, 200,000 people or more in a 20-minute drive time
?25,000-50,000 Square Feet
?Large number of college-educated residents
?Abundant parking available for our exclusive use
?Stand alone preferred, would consider complementary
?Easy access from roadways, lighted intersection
?Excellent visibility, directly off of the street
?Must be located in a high traffic area (foot and/or vehicle)
