It's a beautiful long weekend. Here's a couple of things I've noticed over the last few days.
Another Up 2 You Café opening on Convoy:
In the location that used to house several versions of a "Berto" (I think it was Rolando's last) Taco Shop on Convoy.
Noticed the public notice a few days ago. Looks like it's going to be yet another location of Up2You cafes. Which Kirbie, CC, Jinxi, and our own Cathy have posted on. Looks like this one will be a bit different as they will serve alcohol.

Keils in Bay Park Becoming Sprouts:
Listing this one since it's basically right up the block.
After something like 3 decades, Keils is going to become a location of Sprouts…..I was told sometime in 2017. I really don't shop here often; but I realize that Keils has been a fixture in the neighborhood and folks know the staff here. Kind of sad in a way…..

I was just here yesterday with some friends at the new Bing Haus. We were wondering what happened to the old taco shop. Wow, another dessert place within steps of each other.
Oh no… Sprouts is sprouting up everywhere… I went to Keil’s a few times. I reminded me of the old Safeways.
Hi CC – Yes…though I’ve been told more food/beer oriented than their other location.
Keils has been here almost 30 years Soo….I feel bad for the employees, many of whom have spent decades with the company.
Any news on the place that was opening up in the old Pangea bakery?
What about the second location of Keils in San Carlos/La Mesa?
Hi Ken – You know, I saw some activity in the old Pangaea location, but nothing since. Only the place across the driveway. So I’m not sure what’s going on.
Hi Cindy – I think that location should be fine. The lease was up on the Clairemont location and it was not renewed.
It’s always possible Sprouts will keep much of the old staff from Keil’s. I don’t have any information on that; it’s just a guess. But it’s totally possible.
As for the taco shop, that thing was there forever, it seemed. I’m surprised to hear it closed.
It is Jessica. However, Keils is closing I believe next month and Sprouts is not set to open until mid-2017.
Wonder who’s gonna take over the shuttered Hometown Buffet? Anything will be an upgrade to that.
I haven’t heard anything on that one yet Junichi.
