"Fancy grocer Erewhon will return to Pacific Palisades in an entirely rebuilt store, as the neighborhood's luxury mall, owned by developer Rick Caruso, undergoes renovations for a reopening next August. Palisades Village has been closed since the Jan. 7 wildfire destroyed much of the neighborhood. The outdoor mall survived the blaze but needed to be refurbished to eliminate contaminants that the fire could have spread, Caruso said."
"The developer is spending $60 million to bring back Palisades Village, removing and replacing drywall from stores and restaurants. Dirt from the outdoor areas is also being replaced. Demolition is complete and the tenants' spaces are now being restored, Caruso said. "It was not a requirement to do that from a scientific standpoint," he said. "But it was important to me to be able to tell guests that the property is safe and clean.""

Developer Rick Caruso is spending $60 million to remove and replace drywall and outdoor dirt, with demolition complete and tenant spaces being restored. Erewhon's store was taken down to the studs and reconfigured with a larger outdoor seating area. When it reopens, Erewhon will be the only grocer in the neighborhood and a focal point of recovery and renewed investment.
