I can’t believe it’s been three years since the completion of the Loma Linda fresh & easy (at Redlands Boulevard and Mountain View Avenue), and it still isn’t open.

But at least we’re not the only ones waiting.

There are also two locations in Moreno Valley that were completed years ago and have yet to open.

And a third there that opened for a while and then closed.

But seriously, Loma Linda?

You would think that a market that prides itself on having no high fructose corn syrup, added trans fats, artificial colors or flavors and preservatives only when necessary in its own line of foods would do well in a city where the proposal of allowing a McDonald’s within its borders caused wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Sigh.
