We have great tipsters*. Jerry de Vera is no exception. He sent me these pictures of his sighting, and it's a big one: A new location of Wholesome Choice, that Persian-market-cum-Whole-Foods-cum-International-Food-Court.
He writes:
“I noticed construction at this former Albertson's on my way to a Vietnamese restaurant located a few doors down. It's located in Anaheim Hills at the corner of Imperial Highway and La Palma, just north of the 91 Freeway.”
“I am a big fan of the Irvine Wholesome Choice, but living in Yorba Linda makes the trip a bit of a drive.”
“However, their website does not mention a future location. Web queries on a second or future location also turned up negative. So I am excited but a wee bit doubtful.”
Doubt no more Jerry! Doubt no more!
Following his tip, I contacted the Wholesome Choice business office and confirmed that they are indeed, opening a new store in Anaheim Hills. And what's more, it's slated to open at the end of February.
I can already smell the sangak baking.
