Platform LA is an all-new one-stop shop for everything health and wellness. It describes itself as "a collection of the world's most innovative merchants, chefs and creative companies," some of which include Juice Served Here, Soulcycle and Sweetgreen. While some of the most well-known brands do have a presence outside of the city's Hayden Tract district, it's the concentration of businesses and their innovative take on their respective industries that will make Platform LA a new go-to destination for everything food, fashion and fitness.
The complex is currently in development and is set to be fully completed in May, but as of now, many of the individual wellness-focused shops within Platform LA are ready to bring in customers.
