Retail Openings and Closures

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Tried it last week - see link. Wasn't crowded when I went either. Wonder how long it'll survive since the foods not very good. Unlike the UCI location, it doesn't have the benefit of all the asian college kids.
I actually like the drinks at Snow Monster... They originated from the Bolsa area...
How long does it take to open a hotdog and sliders eatery? Man.
Broadcom

"Irvine-based tech giant Broadcom will move to Great Park Neighborhoods after agreeing to buy land for a new 1.1 million-square-foot corporate headquarters, the company announced Thursday. It has the option to expand to up to 2 million square feet. The campus will be designed by M. Arthur Gensler Jr. & Associates, Inc. and built by DPR Construction. It will include development labs and open-office work spaces. "
I think we're many years away from any great park retail. Retail is usually the quickest to build and occupy so they plan it last. I'd think 2017 would be when we'd start to hear about some retailers.
And MooYa looks close to opening its doors... although not sure how well they will do considering SmashBurger down the road doesn't seem to busy and there is a McDs just across the parking lot.
ill have to try out the cookie connection. the place i love in San Diego (https://thecravory.com/) charges $2/cookie at their store. my sister in law is coming up this weekend and bringing me a dozen of them. ill see how this place stacks up. the cravory in San Diego does pretty well with a lot of online orders and business orders.
Another sandwich shop (this one's Italian) opening up at marketplace:

University [Town] Center update:
Berkeley Dog closed.
One of the few places in Irvine that served corned beef hash.
A new shaved snow place called Snow Monster took over the spot where Snowflakez was.
Chick-Fil-A opened.
Salad Republic closed (not a shocker).
A new sandwich shop called Jimmy John's opened (never been).
Mendocino Farms and Slapfish are opening soon.

I'm posting here instead of "Food & Dining" so Iho doesn't spank me again for creating a double post in a different area. If it hasn't been mentioned already (from my brief skim, I don't think it has, search feature is on-again / off-again) Johnnie's New York Pizzeria has closed in Orchard Hills. It was already mentioned here that the Ugly Pie Co. will be moving in, well, that is the spot it's taking. Not to be confused with Johnny's Real New York Pizza in Quail Hill. I hope this helps.

Gensler is a top architectural firm in the country. Besides the Broadcom campus this firm is also planning the Great Park overall plan and connectivity. Continuity and organic fluidity is crucial for a successful city. The biggest problem of all suburbs is each neighborhood has its fortresses walls and few pedestrians ever ventures out of the walls to walk to other neighborhoods or to retail. As a result we see all these sidewalks, crosswalks and parkways but not a soul. The big idea of Beacon Park and PP is front doors greet the streets thus eliminating the prison walls that hide the neighborhoods.

To confirm what Joe Irvine said in the breakfast thread, CPK is indeed opening in the El Cholo spot off of Jeffrey and Alton. It's weird because Pizza:90 is also opening nearby where the old ZPizza was.irvinehomeowner said:

I guess Mooyah opened yesterday in Alton Square (off of Alton/Jeffrey).
My kid thought (hoped) it was Korean food but it's a burger/hot dog/fries place.
We'll check it out this week.
Also a place called Cookie Connection opened in the Crossroads plaza (next to that new Floyds 99 barbershop... which was strange since there is a HairMasters in the same row of shops).
