Erewhon Market is a luxury grocery store chain that offers high-quality, organic, and locally produced food products as well as prepared meals, snacks, and drinks.

They are headquartered in Los Angeles and have seven different locations within the county, including Calabasas, Pacific Palisades, Silver Lake, Santa Monica, Venice, West Hollywood, and Studio City.

Erewhon Organic was founded in 1966 in Boston, Massachusetts by Aveline and Michio Kushi, who began the brand as a health foods producer and eventually re-located to California.

Toni and Josephine Antoci acquired the company in 2011, where it saw annual double-digit growth within the first few years under their leadership as a niche L.A.-based grocer.

In response to the growing success of Erewhon Market, the private equity firm Stripes Group acquired a significant minority stake in the company in 2019.

Erewhon Market most recently reported revenue of $252 million with plans to continue growing its storefronts.

In addition to generating about $2,500 per square foot of floor space inside the stores, the grocer is also supported by Instacart and Postmates for delivery services.

Erewhon Market has been a certified B Corporation since July 2021, meaning that the company has reached high performance in transparency, accountability, and environmental consciousness.

Currently, Erewhon Market has 7 locations and about 1,200 Employees.

It was announced in April 2021 that Erewhon Market would be expanding into its 8th location in Beverly Hills, planned for 2022.

The grocer’s primary appeal lies in its niche, ultra-curated food products, and wide selection of organic, locally sourced prepared foods that offer choices for vegetarian, vegan, paleo, gluten-free, and grain-free diets.

Erewhon Market has collaborated with several other brands and content creators in food items and merch, including the French label Casablanca and influencers like Tinx and Marianna Hewitt.

The specialty food market has grown 24% at retail from 2018 to 2020, reaching total sales of $170.4 billion in 2020.
