New Grocers Expand in Regency’s Portfolio With Two Southern California Openings in 30 Days

In the past month, Regency has introduced two much-anticipated grocery store openings in Southern California, adding fresh food options and innovative shopping experiences to local communities. 

On October 11, Sprouts Farmers Market launched at Circle Marina Center in Long Beach, drawing over 400 eager customers lined up as early as 7 a.m. to welcome the arrival of fresh, organic, and locally sourced foods. Just weeks later, Amazon Fresh opened its doors at Twin Peaks in Poway on November 7, bringing high-tech features like the Dash Cart to elevate the grocery shopping experience.

At Regency’s Twin Peaks, Amazon Fresh introduces a blend of convenience and innovation to the community. Known for its advanced technology features, Amazon Fresh offers a seamless shopping experience with options like the Dash Cart, which allows customers to skip the checkout line and pay directly through the cart.
