The Longstanding LA Natural Grocery Store You’ve Likely Never Heard Of

According to their website, most of Rainbow Acres’ staff have been with the company for years, even decades. Fueled by education and extensive knowledge of what constitutes a healthy product, each employee is uniquely trained with the highest standards in mind. Howard Pollack, the store’s owner for over 40 years, has remained dedicated to investing in his community’s roots, starting with a healthy work environment for the store’s well-informed crew, who have helped define the spirit of Rainbow Acres.

Committed to providing a 360-degree shopping experience for its customers, Rainbow Acres offers the full spectrum of wellness. The modest market sells vegan cosmetics and soaps, vitamins and holistic healing, non-GMO produce portioned to your liking, and nutritious bites from their grab-and-go deli, plus more. As if their extensive catalog of products was not enough, the quaint utopia strikes good deals for its patrons, offering up rotating sales on a monthly basis. Some highlights have been Beyond Meat patties for $4.99, macadamia milk for $3.99, and Meyer’s cleaning products starting at $3.99. 

Moreover, there is great power in shopping locally. In fact, Telegram & Gazette reports that buying locally puts twice as much money into the community when compared to franchise stores of any kind. This sincere, stand-alone retailer may be small in size, but Rainbow Acres has been making an impact on Los Angeles shopping for years as the biggest independently owned natural food retailer in the area (via Rainbow Acres).
