SUMMARY
Staff is requesting the Commission to authorize the Executive Secretary to enter into an
Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) between the Community Redevelopment Agency
(Agency) and Maxi Foods to work out the terms of a Disposition and Development
Agreement for the acquisition of property located at 1051 West Rosecrans Avenue in the
Compton Redevelopment Project Area in connection with the Agency’s 2010 Tax
Allocation Bond Program.
BACKGROUND
In the ongoing efforts of to rebrand and market the image of the City of Compton, the
Agency has carried the vision of Birthing a New Compton to International, National,
Commercial, Retail and Industrial development arenas. In May 2010 and September 2010
the Agency attended the International Convention of Shopping Center (ICSC) Conferences
in Las Vegas and San Diego respectively to showcase the City of Compton as a rising and
viable destination place for development.
As a result of these aggressive marketing efforts during these Conferences, the Agency has
obtained a proposal from Maxi Foods a successful recognized leader in the development of
high quality Full Service Grocery stores and neighborhood centers projects for acquisition
and development of certain property located at 1051 West Rosecrans Avenue.
The founders of Maxi Foods and Baja Ranch have successfully owned and operated
neighborhood grocery stores since 1972. The company was founded with a shared vision of
providing the under-served consumers with high quality meats, fruits and vegetables in
addition to a full supermarket selection of grocery items all at value prices. By maintaining
a privately-owned distribution center, Maxi Foods is able to limit costs and ensure delivery
of quality fresh goods.
Within the portfolio of thirteen stores, the Maxi Foods and Baja Ranch Market brands have
locations in the Southern California cities of Pasadena, Altadena, Monrovia, Covina,
Victorville and Riverside. Maxi Foods prides itself on being a neighborhood supermarket
with food and household goods which are sought after by the area’s clientele. Given that
Maxi Foods currently operates stores in neighborhoods similar to the location at 1051 W.
Rosecrans - mainly African-American and Latino patrons- the ownership feels that it would
be a great fit at this site. Maxi Foods understands the needs of its patrons and provides
Brand-name products along with specialty goods for home-cooked meals.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE

exclusive negotiation agreement (ENA) for period of 6 months to work the terms of
negotiations with the Agency culminating in a Disposition and Development Agreement
(DDA). The developer’s proposal calls for construction and development of a Full Service
Grocery store that will be incorporated into Gonzales Park as part of the development design
and concept.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Agency has funds in the amount of $1,000,000.00 available within its 2010 Tax
Allocation Bond funds in account number #3050-800-021-4266.

RE: Possible Location for Maxi Foods Market - 1051 W. Rosecrans Avenue, Compton, CA
Dear Dr. Sefa-Boakye and Mr. Antwine,
Maxi Foods is expanding its presence in Southern California and is very interested in the City of
Compton. Within the portfolio of thirteen stores, the Maxi Foods and Baja Ranch Market brands have
locations in the Southern California cities of Pasadena, Altadena, Monrovia, Covina, Victorville and
Riverside. Maxi Foods prides itself on being a neighborhood supermarket with food and household
goods which are sought after by the area’s clientele. Given that Maxi Foods currently operates stores in
neighborhoods similar to the location at 1051 W. Rosecrans - mainly African-American and Latino
patrons, the ownership feels that it would be a great fit at this site. Maxi Foods understands the needs
of its patrons and provides brand-name products along with specialty goods for home-cooked meals.
Maxi Foods understands the property is currently in negotiations to be acquired by the Redevelopment
Agency with tax exempt bond funds. It is Maxi Food’s intent on purchasing the property from the
Agency and making substantial improvements to the entire property. Maxi Foods is strongly willing to
work diligently, within the Agency’s and City’s visions, to substantial improve the property’s façade,
interior, landscaping and perimeter. In addition, Maxi Foods would appreciate the opportunity to
participate in the beautification of the neighboring Gonzales Park picnic area. It would mutually benefit
both the City of Compton and Maxi Foods to improve the Gonzales Park picnic area for use by Compton
citizens and patrons of the supermarket.
Due to the structure of our firm, we are able to minimize costs by upgrading the existing building and
site with our own group of specialists. Our specialists have held positions and worked on similar
projects with such organizations as Ralph’s, Vons and Alpha Beta and are well-versed and proficient in
bringing the existing structure to meet or exceed the Agency’s expectations. Since Maxi Foods will not
need to contract with a developer, it will expedite the process and alleviate overhead costs for the
project.
The founders of Maxi Foods and Baja Ranch have successfully owned and operated neighborhood
grocery stores since 1972. The company was founded with a shared vision of providing the under-served
consumer with high quality meats, fruits and vegetables in addition to a full supermarket selection of
grocery items all at value prices. By maintaining a privately-owned distribution center, Maxi Foods is
able to limit costs and ensure delivery of quality fresh goods.

We at Maxi Foods appreciate the opportunity to open a market in the City of Compton and provide its
citizens with a high quality choice for their grocery shopping. We look forward to hearing from you soon
and answering any questions you may have regarding our operations and the proposed location at 1051
W. Rosecrans.
Sincerely,
Aner Iglesias
President & Principal

Mr. Michael Antwine, Deputy Director
205 South Willowbrook Avenue
Compton, CA 90220
RE: Southwest Corner of Compton Blvd. & Central Ave. - Request for Exclusive Negotiation Agreement
Dear Dr. Sefa-Boakye & Mr. Antwine:
The Walbern Development Company is pleased to offer this request for award of an Exclusive
Negotiation Agreement (“ENA”) for the southwest corner of Compton Boulevard & Central Avenue
(“Project Site”). The Walbern Development Company intends to enter into an Exclusive Negotiation
Agreement with the City of Compton Community Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) for the
development of a commercial center at the Project Site.
It is our understanding that the site previously included dilapidated and blighted structures that have
been demolished and removed. Walbern Development believes that the redevelopment of these
properties into a commercial project will assist the Agency in its revitalization goals, and provide
additional retail and dining opportunities for Compton residents. In addition, the revitalization of this
key intersection will help signify Compton’s ongoing transformation.
The Walbern Development requests an ENA covering the following parcels of real property located at
2200 West Compton Boulevard. The Walbern Development proposes an ENA that would be in effect for
a one hundred and eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the ENA. At the termination of
the ENA period, a development and disposition agreement would be formulated and entered into
between the Walbern Development and the Agency. The Walbern Development understands that while
the Agency may have many firms interested in the site, the proposal of the Walbern Development
separates itself because;
1.
2.

4.
it is fully capitalized and does not require financing to undertake the proposed development;
it proposes to execute leases with tenants within 120 days of the ENA execution;
it proposes an ENA deposit of $25,000; and
it is a high quality developer with a proven retail track record.
Walbern Development’s in-depth knowledge of commercial development and leasing coupled with the
Agency’s foresight will result in a transformative place for Compton residents. In addition, it is our
intention to make maximum use of local labor within an overall strategy of efficiency and effectiveness.
Sincerely,
Matt Waken

Development Scheme
Proposed Project
The proposed development scheme will consist of a neighborhood commercial center with
approximately 20,000 sq.ft. of development. The Walbern Development understands the Agency’s
desire to maximize the development potential of the site.
Walbern Development will make every effort to employ local labor and talent for the design and
construction of the project. The center will be a Class-A retail shopping center, featuring a beautiful
and inviting water feature, in keeping with Compton’s overall smart growth designs and proposed
aesthetics. In addition, ample outdoor seating will be provided to create a sense of place and
community for Compton residents. Lastly, a landscape architect will be an integral part of the design
team, to ensure that deciduous and drought resistant plants are used to create a lush and vibrant feel.

The Walbern Development has reached out to various national retailers regarding the proposed project,
and received positive feedback from a number of retailers including Chase Bank who has submitted a

of the most electric and formidable defenders in the team’s history. He was instrumental
in leading New England to Super Bowl Championships in 2002, 2004, and 2005. Before
his playing days in college and the NFL Willie was a standout Linebacker at Long Beach
Polytechnic High School where he earned Prep All – American honors and was a model
student. Wanting to stay close to home Willie chose the University of Southern California
to play college ball so his family and friends could watch him play.
Willie is now CEO of a multifaceted entertainment company called “55 Entertainment”
which encompasses charitable work, event planning, real estate development and the
record label 55 Records. Willie was also selected as one of Southern California’s a
franchisee’s for WingStop restaurants and Swirlz Yogurt.

networks as The NFL Network, Fox Sports Net, ESPN and more. He has also graced
numerous television and radio commercials and made guest appearances on several
sitcoms including a 2007 episode of “The Game” on the CW Network. Willie was named
one of Essence Magazine’s 2008 “Do Right Men,” highlighting his philanthropic
endeavors and accomplishments and in 2009 Willie was voted as one of the twenty
hottest influencers by Urban Influence Magazine.
Willie’s greatest attributes are the personality and compassion behind his 6’5” 270-pound
frame. He holds a degree in public administration and has always championed the
communities and charities both where he plays and in his native Southern California. He
hits the red carpet to support events such as the “NAACP Image Awards” and “Kid’s
Choice Awards” as well as the “ESPY’s.” Willie is especially dedicated to children’s
causes and takes every opportunity to help underprivileged children through his nonprofit organization, The Willie McGinest Foundation. As he says, giving back is “what it
really is all about,” and his endless hours of work are the proof. Former teammate Troy
Brown puts it best, “That's Willie. He's the engine that won't stop.”
