"Originating in Malibu and now operating 15 stores across five states, SunLife Organics is expanding to San Diego as the newest member of the Campus at Horton project. Founder Khalil Rafati, who credits juicing and superfoods with his recovery from homelessness and drug addiction and calls his obsession with health and wellness a “borderline religion,” says he expects to open three to four stores in the San Diego area, including a Del Mar Highlands Town Center branch likely to launch before the Horton location; the Horton spot will be under Studio 3 Fitness next to the G Street entrance for Sprouts. The chain’s organic smoothies and acai bowls — some priced at $20 or more — are central to its offering, though Rafati acknowledges they may be out of reach for some, and Stockdale’s managing partner adds that SunLife’s emphasis on great food, community, health, and lifestyle aligns with the development’s vision." - Candice Woo
