RE: MONTEREY PLAZA MARKET LOCATION

We, the undersigned, want and need an outlet of a GREAT market chain to fill this important retail spot -- at 5914 Monterey Rd, LA 90042 (cross street, Avenue 60). We fully intend to support a community-friendly grocer who can address the diverse community needs with our business and neighborhood spirit, helping them to become the economic center of our beautiful, friendly area.

BACKGROUND:
For years the prime, 24000sf location on busy Monterey Road, near several 110 Freeway off ramps, has passed through the hands of a number of small, single-store and "mom-and-pop" owners who lacked the marketing and business expertise to survive. We have attempted to patronize and work with each. Estimates of average local household income and purchasing power shows there is nearly $60 million in retail grocery buying power within a 1-mile radius of here ($450 million within 3 miles). Within that same 1+ mile area are only a handful of small, limited supermarkets -- and no major chains. People in Hermon, etc drive 2-3 miles to larger, brand-named stored in nearby South Pasadena, Eagle Rock, and beyond to buy their groceries -- passing this location in both directions.

    • We need a clean up to date market, that does not close down every 2 years. A Trader Joe's, a Fresh N' Easy, a Superior, a Stater Bros. An Albertson's. It get's rather old having to travel from my neighborhood to other areas to spend my money. I would prefer to keep my money in my neighborhood. Please help our community come together in one place.

    • Keep in mind this is a low to middle income community. Fresh & Easy (Alhambra) is pricey and not much of a selection. Trader Joes (luv it) again pricey and mainly organic food. Albertson's or Ralphs would be perfect for our community.
