Here’s a bunch of things I’ve found or noticed over the last three weeks.
Trader Joe’s Coming to Clairemont Town Square:
I had to run to Ace Hardware to get something and I noticed that Burlington Coat Factory was being downsized, with a bunch of construction going on. I asked the friendly guy working what was going on. And to my surprise he told me that a Homegoods and a Trader Joe’s was coming! Which confirms what “FOY” Peter mentioned in the comments of a previous post.

Did some searching and found this on Instagram.
With this background – sorry for the terrible screen capture.

I knew that the old AMC theatres were becoming LA Fitness, but man….it’s about time, right?
Not sure what the exact address is for the new units….
Thanks for the initial heads-up Peter!

Oi Shiba Replacing Da Nang Corner and Hongdae DakGalbi Replacing Nice 2 Meet U:
I knew that Nice 2 Meet U at 4428 Convoy had closed, but then read that Da Nang Corner had closed as well.
So, I drove over and the two businesses which sit next to each other have their signage up.

Oi Shiba, is moving from PB….you know the folks, they own Steamy Piggy, Formoosa, Viet Nom, Flama Llama, etc, etc…..the one’s who will give out free desserts if you review them on Yelp. Though you gotta show the Server your review first. So let’s see, the SDB Restaurant Group does Taiwanese, dumplings, pho, Korean Fried Chicken, ramen, Peruvian….
HongDae from Seoul specializes in Cheese Dak Galbi, which I’ve heard folks call Cheese Fondue Dakgalbi.

Tacos La Chorreada Truck Has Moved Two lots Down:
I had noticed that the Tacos La Chorreada Truck seemed MIA in the V Outlet Parking Lot.
Then I noticed a bunch of “Tacos” signs in the parking lot at 3040 Clairemont Drive; two lots down.

They actually have a nice spot with some tables and seating. I saw one of the guys who works in the truck and he told me they moved on the 2nd.
So, in case you were wondering!

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
Nice scoop on the Trader Joe’s opening!
That corner of the shopping center where Da Nang was has had some high restaurant turnover. Don’t know if it’s because it’s a little hidden from the street, but Coco Ichibanya is always busy. Hope these new spots do well.
I think it’s because it’s kind of hidden and that parking lot can get full very quickly Mar!
From the screensht, that looks like a rather small Trader Joes. I’m more excited about the Home Goods store 🙂
It’s going to be great for the neighborhood Sandy! Plus, that parking lot is huge!
Glad the truck didn’t move out of the area
Me to ST!
Glad that Trader Joe’s rumor turned out to be true, Kirk — that’s going to be a GREAT addition to the neighborhood!
Yes, will be happy to have a TJ’s a bit closer to home. Thanks again for the initial info Peter!
Excellent article. Sharing this with my colleagues.
