Greens Up! at The Shoppes at Westlake Village to Close Its Doors on Thursday, August 1st

Greens Up! at The Shoppes at Westlake Village will be closing its doors permanently, effective August 1st. They opened this location just under 5 years ago, on October 22, 2014. On a personal note, I am sorry to see them close, though am not surprised given they recently stopped service on weekends.

Other Greens Up! locations are in Santa Monica. www.greensupsalads.com/locations.
