A rep for Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market said today that the company has plans to place its second Long Beach store at Nebraska Avenue and Seventh Street.
But spokesman Brendan Wonnacott said plans are preliminary and did not have a timeline for construction and opening.
Fresh & Easy is a product of El Segundo-based Tesco USA, the U.S. arm of British retail giant Tesco. Tesco, which is spending $2 billion over five years to open hundreds of stores in California, Arizona and Nevada, recently opened its 100th Fresh & Easy.
There's already a Fresh & Easy in East Long Beach, at 6436 Spring St.

Nice, much closer to downtown but they should put it right in the center of downtown, near Pine St.
This is a big loss for downtown. Nebraska sits convenient to the new Vons just down Ocean. Plus it's fairly close to Suja Lowenthal (2nd Council) it's just proof that our council members care very little about downtown and Pine Ave. Nebraska and 7th is a good looking area and rather than pulling the retail to Pine or closer streets to beckon residents to spend money downtown our council members are pushing for their own neighborhoods.
