Ignore the negative people

Can we get something in this town other than grocery stores & fast food?? There's already 2 major grocery stores and half a dozen discount food places?? Adding another one is not going to expand sales it's just going to split the existing dollars even further. The downtown area is full of boarded up buildings.. What is being done to "economically develop" the downtown area?? We are supposed to be a "spa city" is there even a brochure that illustrates where all of the spas are located??? What do we do to promote it??? Why is the only car dealership a small used car place?? Has anyone thought about a Costco or Sam's Club?? We need businesses that will result in a regional draw to pull money in from other areas.. Oh and on an aside... Why is there only sidewalks on one side of West Dr.. Can the people on the. East side get a curb & a sidewalk...

If the new store is managed fairly as far as employees are concerned then I’m for it.

Grocery Outlet is great. Every time I go to visit relatives in Bakersfield I make sure I shop at Grocery Outlet before I come home. They have so many bargains.

Thanks, Scott for the update. I heard the store would be Cardenas. Now I have facts. Having another choice for lodging besides Motel 6 adds another option.

Great news

Can we assume that Von’s and Stater Bros. will not be negatively affected by the new business?

Thanks Mayor Matas. Rumors are just rumors not facts.

What is grocery outlet? Why not Trader Jo or Aldi ? And what about some retail stores like TJMax or Ross?
