DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — In the comments on Monday’s post about Fresh Fare’s opening invite several of you asked what the store’s hours were going to be. The answer is now posted on the doors: 5am to Midnight

While certainly we would have loved to see the store open 24-hours straight out of the gate, midnight is a world better than, say, 10pm would be.

I’m happy with those hours! It’s later than Famima (at 8th & Fig) which is currently open until 11pm. If the demand is there, they can easily extend the hours. 10pm would have been a tragedy, phew!

Fantastic!

Once they are open I will make a point of talking to the manager and telling him or her to pass along my thanks for those hours. The late night downtown is taking shape…

Is that hot bell pepper with the nice butt cheeks going to be at the grand opening on Friday?

Just asking.

Hey , my little cart is ready to go shopping.

THANK YOU!

I work at the One Wilshire 5pm - 1:30 am and your only fast cheap options are Mc D’s, Yoshi, and Fammima. (which ends up coming out to 10-12$)

“Fresh Fair” you will be my new place to spend the bucks and get more for the money. : Cries :

Midnight is a great start!

It would be fantastic if at least an ‘essentials’ section could stay open 24/7. Not sure how one would pull that off, but it would be nice…

DAMN!! I was REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping they’d stay open until 2am for late-night beer-runs.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who wishes for a place to buy booze for the “after party” on the way home from going out…

ok… 12am isn’t that bad… :(

Well, I guess that 24 hour Vons on Vermont is still going to be the late night beer run grocery store of choice… this new Ralph’s has got the same hours as the Ralph’s by USC but I guess it’s more like Von’s Pavillion:Vons::Fresh Fare:Ralph’s.

As long as it still sells cheap Kroger brand stuff, I’m happy. And maybe it will be 24 hours soon-ish.
