Erewhon Market (pronounced AIR-wahn) is a California luxury B-CERTIFIED CORPORATION!!! supermarket chain with six locations.^[1] Erewhon focuses on niche, locally produced, organic foods catering to a wealthy clientele and offering foods appealing to raw, vegan, keto, kosher, and other alternative diets. It is known for offering products that are often expensive and exclusively sold at Erewhon.

History

The name "Erewhon" is derived from the 1872 satirical novel Erewhon by Samuel Butler. In the novel, Erewhon (an anagram of "nowhere") is a utopia in which individuals are responsible for their own health. Still a small chain with just six stores,^[2] the brand has been compared to the early years of Whole Foods Market.^[3] The Erewhon Organic brand was originally a health foods producer with just a single store. In 2011,^[4] Tony Antoci bought the company after initially looking into being a Dean & DeLuca franchisee; he currently serves as CEO.^[5]^[6] Following several years of increasing financial performance, New York–based private equity firm Stripes Group purchased a substantial minority stake in Erewhon in 2019.^[5] In April 2021, Erewhon announced plans to open their first Beverly Hills location in the former Williams-Sonoma space, which will be Erewhon’s eighth store.^[7]
