RC food choices come, go

It’s nearly impossible to keep up with the latest comings and goings of Rancho businesses. Let’s start with the good news.

The
center on the northeast corner of Foothill and Rochester is shaping up.
There’s a new Subway, Kiwi Frost (frozen yogurt, I’m guessing) and Maui Wowi coffee. The Costa Mesa-based Chronic Tacos, wedged between Subway and the frogurt place, is opening Friday.

Over on Kenyon near Albertson’s, Bad Ass Coffee will host its grand opening party on Saturday. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., customers can get a free Kona coffee at 11460 Kenyon Way #108. The Hawaiian themed shop has free Wi-Fi and that’s pretty bad ass in my book.

Also, I noticed near Richie’s Diner, a Shakey’s Pizza is coming soon in that plaza that’s sort of Victoria Gardens but not really.

Some
businesses haven’t found any luck this year, however. Camille’s, a
Fourth Street sandwich/salad spot, has closed. So has Dinner My Way,
the meal prep store on Haven and Base Line. The Daily Bulletin and Inland Living magazine gave some attention to these meal prep businesses two years ago.
At one time, there were four of these concept stores in the city. After
a quick Internet and 411 search, it appears with Dinner My Way closing,
there are now none.
