Man, I know what you mean about them not being one-stop-shops. The area markets we tend to use are Cosentino's and Lunardi's - only problem is they're both a bit pricey.

Not that I know of. I also wind up running around to a lot of different stores to complete a shopping list. It is amazing to me that we don't have descent shopping here in Willow Glen, this is another reason it is so disheartening that the Fresh and…

Not to change the subject but I do wonder where everyone does their shopping now? I'm not a fan of Safeway unless of course it's the Rivermark Safeway. I generally go there, Trader Joe's on Coleman and Whole Foods. The problem with all 3 is that the…

Yes, this was my impression of the renovation as well and so I contacted the property owners to discuss the issue. From the conversation I had, I gather that the Fresh and Easy actually hired a Architect/Design co. out of San Francisco to handle the…

My wife and I noticed the "odd" yellow tiles too. If paint, I expect it will eventually flake off the tiles. It looks to be an economical renovation and apparently doesn't add much aesthetic value from what it was. It would have to be extremely pric…

All I know to date is the opening has been pushed out due to the economy. When I asked the district councilman's office about the original meetings, they referred me to the following website regarding the meeting that happened in December 2008. They…

Is this going to happen? Is the Fresh & Easy on Bird and Minnesota opening or has it been totally dropped by Fresh & Easy?

I wanted to add to this blog that I have been informed by the city that the Fresh and Easy has now pushed out their opening date to 2011 or 2 years from now, what ever that means. I am so glad that the property owners decided to decline Zanotos offe…

Yes, I understand and agree that we cannot have the fashion police or in this case the design police, but this was just so wrong and it has been so long since anything has been in this shopping center and the stores that really wanted to be in there…

Thank god that we don't let city hall dictate aesthetics. Personally I would rather have an ugly grocery store than no grocery store, though it looks like the latter is panning out. If every neighborhood group stuck their noses in every single proj…

Hi Karin this is what I've been told by the city. The new Fresh and Easy is expected to open in the second half of 2009. Fresh and Easy will use part of the store and then sub-lease the remainder of the space to another tenant. They have not found…

I agree. It is HIDEOUS! The colors are really gaudy and cheezy looking. Is Fresh and Easy even coming to the area? Last I heard, the plans to open a bunch of stores in the Bay Area had been put on hold because of the current bad economic times we're…

I am a Willow Glen Resident and I am not so sure that anything can be done with this issue, but I felt the need to ask if anything can be done none the less.

I live on Willow Glen Way and am witnessing the direction the property owners of the shopping center on the corner of Bird and Minnesota are taking their new renovation. In one word it is hideous! I have not seen their proposed finished renovation but if it is anything like the Fresh and Easy store, which it looks to be headed that way, it… Continue
