Mervyn’s Will Become LA Fitness

by MissionViejoDispatch.com on January 28, 2010

Mervyns 160   The  former  Mervyn’s Store on Alicia, across the street from Target, will become a LA Fitness Center. The new lease extends for 15 years.

   Watt Companies says it will renovate the entire 5 acre Alicia Towne Center in conjunction with the LA Fitness lease.

   So Cal District Manager Cutter Chanley says the location will open within 6 months after pre-sales of memberships begins, which hasn’t yet been scheduled. The pre-sales period will offer discounted memberships which are good at other area locations until the new facility opens.

Nice to see a gym coming to that side of Mission Viejo and fill in the vacancy in a very visible location that reflects the economy of our city right at Alicia and the 5. Having a big box store vacancy doesn’t look good. LA Fitness sure is a lot better than a temp Halloween store!

When and where will pre-sale memberships begin?

[Editor's Note: LA Fitness hasn't scheduled pre-sales yet.]

Whole Foods would be a lot better!

They won’t take the whole store, something else will end in the rest of the space. I will say LA Fitness generally does a better job of keeping up their facilities. I have been waiting for a location off the freeway in this area for years.
