Continues To
Invest in The Artisanal Environment With More Shops
Costa
Mesa, CA – Entering a new phase in its evolution, The OC Mart Mix, the shopping
destination that redefined the retail experience in Orange County, is changing
its name to The OC Mix to
better reflect this urban marketplace filled with over 25 small retail shops,
gourmet food and drinks, all under one roof. The OC Mix will live up to its
moniker “fashion, food & findings” and will continue to nurture small
businesses and owner-operated shops, while advancing in the artisanal
environment found in the building located in the heart of South Coast
Collection (SoCo).
“The idea is to eliminate confusion among consumers that the “mart” is a place
that is accessible to the trade only,” says Bryon Ward of Burnham Ward, owners of SoCo where The OC Mix is
located. “The OC Mix is very much a retail community that is accessible
to all.”
Constantly evolving to give trend spotters the eclectic mix the center is
popular for, The OC Mix will welcome three new retailers: Seventh Tea Bar, the latest creation from Portola Coffee Lab, just
opened on January 2; Birdie Bowl & Juicery will open on February 1; and Wardrobe
Ltd. will open in late January. Recently opened shops and restaurants include Lollipop Nail Studio, Theorem by Portola
Coffee Lab, and Shuck Oyster Bar,
while several Mix retailers have expanded in the last month such as, Local Fare, Apples & Oranges, and Smocking Birds.
With
a modern, shop-from-your-neighbor feel and the opportunity to touch, taste,
feel, see, and hear from its retailers, The OC Mix is Orange County’s answer to
the Ferry Building in San Francisco or Chelsea Market in New York City but with
a So Cal contemporary-chic aesthetic highlighted by cement floors, reclaimed
wood, and exposed ceilings. Many of the shops are under 250 square feet, giving
rise to the power of the small business owner and the ability to present
products and services in a fresh new way, only found at The OC Mix.
From
eco-friendly merchandise and services to products that give back to charity,
The OC Mix shoppers can also find many items made by local Orange County
artisans and companies, emerging fashion designers for men, women and children,
fine jewelry and accessories, unique home furnishings, stylish tableware, and
inspiring artwork. The OC Mix is also quickly becoming a hot spot for epicurean
adventures with the ability to get spices, oysters, cheese, sauces, coffee,
tea, juice, olive oil, wine and more at the various gourmet shops and restaurants
in The OC Mix.
