thanks for the update…Ciao from Villa Isabella Pergusa Sicily 🙂
FYI, the Bristol Farms website says Santa Barbara store is opening in “2020.” So not in time for the holidays, sadly. 🙁
Curious what’s up with the Sprouts on Milpas. Their site has about five “Coming Soon” new locations around So Cal but no mention of us.
(Can you tell I am looking forward to new grocery options?)
The Goleta store wasn’t listed on their website until about 3-4 months ahead of opening.
