The Californer - Reeco Lures Amazon Fresh to Whittier Shopping Center in Long-Term Lease Deal

Trending...

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Reeco, a Southern California based real estate brokerage serving residential and commercial customers, has completed the lease of an approximately 38,000-square-foot building in the Friendly Hills Marketplace in Whittier. Formerly home to an Orchard Supply Hardware located at 15225 Whittier Blvd., the building has become an Amazon Fresh grocery store.

Reeco represented the landlord, The Golden Group, and worked closely with the City of Whittier to revitalize the shopping center.

"We are thrilled with Amazon's decision to make the Friendly Hills Marketplace home to one of the first Amazon Fresh stores in the country," said Darren Barkev, Reeco real estate broker. "After Orchard Supply Hardware closed, we targeted the location for grocery store use to reposition the Friendly Hills Marketplace as a daily needs shopping center. With Amazon Fresh, the Whittier community will benefit from a new, exciting model of grocery store that offers seamless in-store and online shopping–a great option during the pandemic–as well as Amazon's investment in the city.

Amazon's position as the anchor-tenant is expected to bring additional traffic to the other stores in the shopping center, many of which are small businesses. Having a powerful company like that involved in Whittier is a great sign for the local economy."
