The opening of the Erewhon Natural Foods store has been pushed to November, according to the company's president Tony Antoci.

Antoci, who moved to western Malibu last year, had originally hoped the store would open this summer.

The market, which is still under construction, will be located in the area of HOWS Trancas Market, which closed in August 2011.
