New juice place and Dunn Edwards moves

Local Press Juicery opens at Los Altos Center as a healthy local alternative

The long awaited  replacement to the popular Los Altos  Hole Mole has opened at the Los Altos Center.

Local Press Juicery is the newest addition to the unique stores and services found at the Los Altos Center. East Long Beach's first juice store is owned by  long time East Long Beach resident Paulo Lopez .

Acai bowl

The all organic Local Press Juicery specializes in using Acai berries and Pitaya (dragon fruit) - both known for having the highest anti-oxidant qualities.  Lopez said that they do not add ice to the Pitaya inspired smoothies- just 100% ingredients. Another specialty are the Acai Bowls (Pitaya bowls are also available) - a way to eat your drink!

While many juice enthusiasts adhere to juice cleansing program, Lopez feels that that juice maintence program is more beneficial.   To that end, Local Press Juicery will include a weekly subscription service.  When signing up on the website (coming soon) subscribers will get a weekly delivery of  juice.  "It's like the old milkman but with juice!" Lopez said.  The delivery will be free to juice subscribers.

Local Press Juicery will be reaching out to business meeting planners to include a juice option with their breakfast meeting planning.

Last week was the soft opening with a grand opening planned for early December. Local Press Juicery will be open 7 am - 7 pm Monday- Saturday and until 5 pm on Sundays. 

Los Altos Dunn Edwards Paints moves

The Los Altos Dunn Edwards Paints has relocated to  Lakewood Blvd. and Willow Street.  The new space at 2533 N. Lakewood Blvd is located in a new building adjacent to the Shoe City lot across from Spires and the Holiday Inn.

The Los Altos store was in the former bank building at 2211 Bellflower Blvd.   That lot has long been rumored to be one of the two possible locations of a new Walgreens ( the other being at the Traffic Circle Hooman's  Toyota space).
