Wendy Leung: January 2012 Archives
With all the restaurants coming and going in Rancho Cucamonga, it's hard to keep track. Good
thing it's not just "going," there are businesses coming, too.
First the sad news. Joey's BBQ on Foothill Boulevard closed last week. Its Upland, Pomona and Chino locations are unaffected. Robin's Dono, a Japanese restaurant on Fourth Street across from Ontario Mills, has also closed.
Here's some good news. Alberto's will take over Joey's BBQ spot. Alberto's is a chain of taquerias with more than 40 locations in Southern California. Cuban restaurant Flamingo Palms is leaving its tiny Archibald Avenue location and moving to the more prominent Fourth Street, in a space where Camille's used to be. Flamingo Palms will be on Archibald for another month. It was mentioned in this space recently that Handel's, the popular ice-cream joint in Upland, is opening another shop on Haven Avenue at the Vons center near the 210 Freeway. Handel's is expected to open mid-February or March. Finally Felipe's on Archibald and Foothill has closed. Stevie Dee's Diner is expected to take over.

Nearly five years after Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market first opened in the U.S., the British-owned grocer is temporarily closing 12 stores.
The Hemet and south Ontario stores are among 12 under-performing markets scheduled to temporarily close in coming weeks. The company hopes to reopen when economic conditions improve. Seven stores in California -- Ontario, Hemet, Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Bakersfield, Baldwin Park and Fresno -- are scheduled to shutter. One in Las Vegas and four in Phoenix are also expected to close.
Owned by British retail giant Tesco, Fresh and Easy entered the U.S. market in 2007, when traditional supermarkets were struggling and laying off workers.
