“In order to open stores in even more communities, we are testing a handful of 3,000-square-foot stores called Fresh & Easy Express including the site in Laguna Niguel,” said Brendon Wonnacott, a spokesperson for the market chain. “We’re always looking to serve more neighborhoods and the smaller format will help us accomplish that.”

What's Unique
For those unfamiliar with the chain, Wonnacott described it as a “modern, 21st century neighborhood market.”
