Westminster / Central Orange County
The clearest grocery-anchored node we could verify is Westminster Center at Westminster Boulevard and Goldenwest Street, with Albertsons at 6755, ALDI about 0.2 mile away on Goldenwest, and service tenants such as Westminster Modern Dentistry (6745B) and America's Best (6771 B). Target carries grocery at both of its Westminster stores, at 200 Westminster Mall (open while the mall site is redeveloped as Bolsa Pacific) and at 16400 Beach Boulevard. The Vietnamese supermarkets along Bolsa Avenue and Brookhurst Street are a big part of this market, but we only found them in directories, not on their own pages, so they are not listed.

Mile-square block bordered by Bolsa, Brookhurst, Westminster, and Magnolia
Anchors / key tenants: Vietnamese and Korean restaurant, grocery, jewelry, beauty
The dense Little Saigon mile-square block where Vietnamese shops line Brookhurst and Westminster, mixing with Korean retail to the north on Garden Grove Blvd. Highest density of authentic Vietnamese food, banh mi shops, pho restaurants, jewelry, and beauty/nail operators in OC.
Existing operators are the most honest comp for whether a use can support Westminster rents. These are publicly visible grocery-anchored retail space businesses currently trading in the market.

01
Zoning: Table 2-4 in Section 17.220.010 lists grocery stores as permitted by right in the C1, C2 and CM zones and not allowed in CR, where Section 17.220.005.A says retail needs Planning Commission review and final City Council action. The MU36 and MU40 mixed-use zones also permit grocery stores (Table 2-8). Confirm the parcel's zone and any overlay, since uses on a Planned Development (PD) overlay site are set through its comprehensive plan (Section 17.250.030).
02
Truck loading under Section 17.400.065: a food market over 10,000 sq ft that sells fresh produce or meat must provide at least one loading space of 14 by 55 feet. Markets of 2,500 to 10,000 sq ft need 250 sq ft of loading area for every 2,500 sq ft of floor area (at least 12 by 20 feet, capped at 750 sq ft) near the storage room door. Walk the rear of older Bolsa Avenue and Brookhurst Street centers with this in mind.
03
Parking under Table 3-5 (Section 17.320.020): shopping centers up to 100,000 sq ft park at 1 space per 250 sq ft and larger centers at 1 per 300, and tenants inside a center use the center rate (17.320.020.C.1). If a change of use needs more parking than the prior use, the difference has to be added (17.320.020.D.3). Get the center's current parking count from the landlord.
04
Beer and wine: Table 2-4 requires a conditional use permit for alcohol sales for off-site consumption in C1, C2 and CM, and for liquor stores. A CUP goes to a Planning Commission public hearing (Section 17.550.015.B.2), so put that hearing in the lease timeline if alcohol is part of the plan.
05
Late hours: Section 17.220.015.B requires a CUP for a business with late night operations within 150 feet of a residentially zoned parcel. Check what sits behind the store before planning early or late hours.
06
Westminster Mall site: the mall closed October 29, 2025, demolition began April 15, 2026, and construction of Shopoff's Bolsa Pacific project (housing, retail, a hotel and a relocated Target) was expected to start around Q4 2026. Ask about construction staging and access if you look at space near Goldenwest Street and Bolsa Avenue.
