I recently noticed an ABC application announcing that Orange County’s natural/organic powerhouse Mother’s Market & Kitchen is taking over the old Fresh & Easy space at 1700 Rosecrans Ave. in Manhattan Beach.  Apparently, this is part of a greater push into LA County that has also resulted in the recent opening of a branch in Signal Hill.  Expect a “wide selection for specialized diets, top quality local and organic produce, [and] the county’s largest selection of supplements”, as well as a “beer and wine eating place”.

Update: Mother’s opens on March 16th.
