Beloved by health-conscious celebrities and fans of high-quality, organic produce, Erewhon Markets exemplify Southern California’s high-end outdoor living culture. As the company itself says, “Erewhon is more than a grocery store, we are a community of people who are united in our love for pure products that protect the health of people and our planet.” The store’s savvy clientele doesn’t just appreciate good food; they also understand good design. So, Erewhon’s choice of Infratech’s SL-Series heaters for their spacious outdoor patios made perfect sense. Our barely noticeable heaters blend seamlessly into the design of the space. They’re also an eco-friendly choice since they’re made from recyclable materials and operate with zero greenhouse emissions, odors or ultraviolet light.

Johnston’s Saltbox is a name synonymous with quality and variety, highlighting the Bay Area's best local artisan products in a family-owned, local neighborhood-style restaurant.
