Smashburger opened in South Redondo Wednesday, bringing its "smashed" burgers, chicken, sandwiches, fries and vegetarian meals to its location at 409 N. Pacific Coast Hwy., Suite 110.

Smashburger founder Tom Ryan attended the opening.

The luxury retailer Satine opened a Manhattan Beach shop in the space long occupied by Magpie. Satine, at 1141 Highland Ave., brands itself as a fashion-forward store catering to actresses, musicians and models with hard-to-find indie labels.
