Bixby Village Plaza is pleased to announce the opening of The Melt, the final tenant in the shopping center’s newly redeveloped retail building. The opening marks the completion of the transformation of the former CVS building into a modern retail destination, bringing four new businesses to serve the Long Beach community. Known for its made-to-order grilled cheese sandwiches, Angus beef burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, fresh salads, fries, and hand-spun milkshakes, The Melt expands the center’s dining offerings while enhancing the overall tenant mix. The completed redevelopment reflects Westar Associates’ continued commitment to investing in its properties and creating vibrant neighborhood shopping destinations that meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve.
