The second season of Netflix’s “You” takes place in Los Angeles, California, where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) gets a new job working in the book department of a trendy grocery store known as Anavrin.
In the show, Anavrin is a high-end food market owned by the Quinn family and operated by siblings Love (Victoria Pedretti) and Forty Quinn (James Nicholas Scully). The fictional grocery store’s shelves are stocked with plenty of green juices and organic produce as an ode to Los Angeles’ health and wellness culture.
While Anavrin is fictional, it seems to have been inspired by a real health-conscious grocery store chain in Los Angeles called Erewhon, which has become popular thanks to its wide selection of organic, local, and sustainable foods.
I stopped by the Erewhon location in Venice Beach, California, to see how it compares to Anavrin.
