New Silver Lake Market Is Coming Along

Yummy's slowly making over the space once occupied by Natural Mind salon. And there's definite progress. A grand opening could come in mid-April.

 

The big concrete space at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Maltman Avenue was long famous for its growing, "green" wall.

Inside was Natural Mind salon, specializing in cuts and colors using natural products.

Early last year, Natural Mind was no more, just as the Polka Dot Plaza took over the intersection nearby.

We learned in March 2012 that Yummy, a Playa Vista-based market chain, would becoming into the space.

Yummy has been taking its time in coming, in part because of the permitting required.

We stopped by recently and saw some definite progress--with refrigerated cases for frozen goods and produce in place

The green wall was slowly removed but not much else seemed to be happening until recently.

Yummy describes itself as as small format grocery store with a delivery service.

The Silver Lake store will be modeled after Yummy's Playa Vista store and will include both retail and a delivery service.

What's still not clear is whether Yummy will also be selling liquor, though some had feared that when a petition began circulating last year to garner neighborhood support.

Barnaby Montgomery, Yummy's president, says no opening date as yet been set, but added in an email that, "We hope to have a grand opening in mid-April to thank our neighbors, Councilmember Garcetti, and the Neighborhood Council for supporting our grocery store."
