Spencer Pratt and Rae Huang - two different sides of the same grifter coin

[Rae Huang @raeforla]

I want to make clear right now that Spencer Pratt does not deserve any voice or sound bite in my Campaign or in this city that I love. His rhetoric,  platform and Campaign is the antithesis to who I am, who I am fighting for, and what our campaign is all about. I’m running a campaign to fight established power and wealth that has for too long been held in the hands of a few and on the backs of working Angelenos. Spencer is an opportunist dehumanizing the vulnerable to advance his media career, he has no interest in meeting the needs of the majority of Angelenos.

How dare u leave West Hollywood off this list

[Ken Bensinger @kenbensinger]

How many people in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Culver City and Calabasas are feeling shocked to discover that Spencer Pratt isn't on their ballots right now?

@saikatc Scott’s legislation has single handedly built hundreds of thousands of homes across the state.

How many did you build?

Beverly Hills filed a NEPA lawsuit to try and stop the D Line. The lawyer representing BHUSD was the future Second Gentleman of the United States.

And Metro still won.

Laurel Supply opened in West Hollywood last Friday. No press release. No website. No opening party. They built it less than a block from Erewhon.

This is the business they're competing for.

Erewhon does $1,800 to $2,500 in sales per square foot. A typical supermarket does $450 to $600. Across 10 California stores, the chain posted $171.4 million in profit in 2023. Roughly $17 million per location.

The Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie generated $10.6 million in revenue from a single drink. Forty thousand cups a month at $20 each. Erewhon launches a new celebrity smoothie every month. Sixteen branded drinks a year. Each one has up to five ingredient brands paying to be in the recipe.

Then there's the membership. Roughly 60,000 people pay up to $200 a year for perks that include a free monthly drink. That's $12 million in revenue before a single avocado gets scanned.

Erewhon stopped being a grocery store years ago. It became a celebrity collab platform with a juice bar attached.

Phil Howard and Dean McKillen watched this for fifteen years. They own Laurel Hardware, the restaurant seven blocks east on Santa Monica. They saw a competitor turn produce into a luxury vertical and decided the market had room for a second one.

The location was the strategic move. A block from Erewhon means the shopper doesn't have to choose. They go to both on the same trip. The TikTok haul gets twice the content. The Uber from LAX picks the same neighborhood. The flow stays inside the West Hollywood luxury grocery circuit.

The no-marketing decision was the same logic. The customer Erewhon built doesn't respond to ads. They respond to "have you been to the new one." That post is free. Andrea just made it for them. So did everyone else who walked in on day one with a phone.

The store is the marketing budget. An olive tree growing inside the building. An in-house flour mill for the pizza. Floor-to-ceiling wood shelving for a health and beauty section that runs an entire wall. Staff in white jackets. Every detail engineered to photograph.

The olive tree is the marketing budget. The grocery is the cover.

@mikehtrujillo How do I get my name on her website!

[Andrew Solomon @solomonweho]

@kennethmejiaLA What’s up with @RickChavezZbur funding these ads too?

[Andrew Solomon @solomonweho]

@reporterliz Why did @RickChavezZbur think it was a good idea to contribute to Sokoloff’s mom’s IE?

[Andrew Solomon @solomonweho]

Had a great meeting today with @JohnEricksonWH who is running for state senate in the 24th District. He is smart, energetic and passionate - and unapologetically pro housing. No waffling or equivocation. He is the clear YIMBY choice in this race.

[Andrew Solomon @solomonweho]

This debate has me wishing that Michael Tubbs had run for Governor instead of Lite Gov. He’s clearly the most transcendent talent in the statewide field.

[Michael Schneider @schneider]

There’s only one candidate running for CA Senate District 24 who is a champion of safer streets and building more housing at the scale we need.

Vote for @JohnEricksonWH by June 2, we need a fighter like him in Sacramento!

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

@seanspicer Sean I literally just saw you like 8 hours ago at the CNN brunch and you were perfectly nice. Either grow the balls to say this type of nonsense to my face or take a seat!

[Andrew Solomon @solomonweho]

@_lej44 Nope.
