Found out what’s going on across from The Rock
Ok so we’ve ALL been wondering what is happening in that corner business on Townsend diagonally across from The Rock on Yosemite, it feels like they’ve been working on it for eons. And today — my wife (34F) saw some people painting it, pulled over and literally turned her car around so that she could ask them what they were doing in there. According to these people, it is going to be like .. a fancy corner store type thing!? With like wine and snacks and stuff is what the lady said.
How do we feel about this?? I am sort of surprised. I guess I shouldn’t be but do we think another Wine n Eggs/Sip Snack is what this block needs? I could see it being really nice if they can dial in the right balance of affordable good quality lunch / nice things to bring to bbq’s etc but if it’s too expensive / not well curated, couldn’t you see this totally falling flat? Also is it going to have anything that will appeal to these bajillion kids coming by after school, or is that a loss leader to sell to them? And what does it mean for The Rock? Could only be a good thing for them right? Assuming they can get their act together and brew some actual drip coffee. We need successful businesses how can we help these guys out?!
