Erewhon Coming to Glendale

The City of Glendale announced that Erewhon, an upscale organic market and café with 10 locations across Southern California, has purchased the former Virgil’s Hardware Home Center at 520 N. Glendale Ave. In approximately 18 months, Erewhon will open its 11^th location in the building. 

Erewhon plans to utilize 18,000 square feet of the 24,000 square feet and lease the additional space to complementary tenants.

The Virgil’s site has a long history in Glendale, operating in the city since 1932. The store was famous for being a source of everything from eggs to 50-year-old doorknobs, setting it apart from larger chain hardware stores. The store closed in 2019 and has remained vacant ever since.
