A major expansion also took place in 2007 tripling the size of the now spacious store.

The LA Times review noted that Joan's is the "rare in LA specialty foods store" that "stocks essentials -- salt-cured anchovies sold by the ounce, capers under salt, ricotta cheese, fleur de sel (a specialty sea salt from France), and imported De Cecco brand pasta" and "a small selection of carefully chosen cheeses, such as locally made burrata, English Cotswold, or a truffle-infused Boschetto." It's known for it's artasan cheese, cupcakes and other desserts as well as its fine meats and gourmet salads.

Joan's is located in a busy area for upsacale eating and shopping establishments between the Beverly Center on La Cienega Boulevard and Farmer's Market at the Grove on Fairfax Avenue.
