New Stores: The miles of aisles for Orange County shoppers keep stretching.

Some of the latest entrants: Lingerie for Less has opened a new Irvine store--its fourth in Orange County. The store, at Culver Drive and Barranca Parkway, joins other Lingerie for Less shops here in Huntington Beach, Cypress, and Santa Ana.

And Antique Club has leased 15,000 square feet at McFadden Commerce Center, a home and office furnishings complex in Santa Ana. The Antique Club store in Santa Ana will be the only Southern California outlet.

And ground has been broken on a new retail and office complex--Mercado del Rio--on La Palma Avenue in Yorba Linda. The 44,000-square-foot project, scheduled to open in the spring, will include Uli’s Gourmet Market, Allstate Insurance, and Econo Lube ‘N Tune.
