Whole Foods Hoax Is Confirmed Tuesday
The photo of a sign posted at the former Circuit City location on Sunset Boulevard sent the local Twittersphere into a frenzy late Monday.
Looks like it's official now.
LAist has heard back from Whole Foods honchos, who confirm that the sign sighted Monday at 4400 Sunset Blvd announcing a location in Silver Lake is a hoax.
A few new locations are coming to Southern California, but the closest is probably the one planned for Newport Beach.
