Mendocino Farms was founded in Los Angeles in 2005 by husband-and-wife team Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen. The sandwich and salad shop, which is heavily backed by Whole Foods Market, now has more than 40 locations spread throughout Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. The company is continuing to expand its presence around California, in addition to growing markets in Washington, Texas and beyond.
After a successful San Diego debut with the opening of the first area location in The Shops in La Jolla Village in late 2016, Mendocino Farms has opened other area branches in Del Mar Highlands Town Center, The Square at Bressi Ranch in Carlsbad, downtown San Diego, Westfield Mission Valley, Camino Village Plaza in Encinitas, and within Regency Centers' 4S Commons Town Center. On Tuesday, the fast casual restaurant is opening its newest restaurant in Scripps Ranch in the same shopping center with a Vons.
"The new location will feature the brand's first-ever mobile pick-up lane," explained a Mendocino Farms representative. "This new feature was envisioned with the needs of customers in mind. From afternoon carpooling to quick lunch breaks, Mendocino Farms aims to make it as convenient as possible for fans to enjoy the fare that they know and love."
The newest is opening in the space that currently houses El Pollo Loco inside Scripps Ranch Marketplace plaza. The Scripps Ranch interior will echo a coastal vibe, inviting the community to enjoy fresh, flavorful meals together. Guests will be greeted by “eat happy” signage and digital menu boards. The refurbished exterior will feature a heated patio, outdoor seating, and a foosball table.
