"We’re excited about a category of retail that, through our archeology we’ve learned to be the next wave of retail here in America. We felt that San Marcos is a place to implement the project…we believe in this next generation of retail to be what we call “micro manufacturing”. In America we’re back to making things again...and this next generation of makers, whether it’s craft coffee, craft beer, making leather bags, making guitars, furniture - there’s a full array of this next generation of makers." Coming soon to soon to San Marcos will be the Marcos. It’s the latest development from Shaheen Sadeghi and LAB Holding. Located at Grand and Linda Vista, this development will feature artisan shops, as well as trendy restaurants and breweries. Shaheen talks about some of his earlier projects in Anaheim and Costa Mesa. Do you know what LAB stands for? You’ll find out in this episode.
"We are in the business of creating platforms in places where people can bump into each other and have a bonfire and have a conversation. And through that, commerce will happen, as opposed to straight-up consumption, which, many of us, particularly in my generation grew up with." - Shaheen Sadeghi, Founder, President and CEO, LAB Holding, LLC
