San Leandro Businesses On The Move

(These notes come from the city's community development update.)

Jo-Ann Fabrics has leased the majority of the former Big Lots space at 699 Lewelling Boulevard. Permits are currently being pulled for tenant improvements to the 25,000 square foot space which will include new interior walls/finishes, restrooms, HVAC, lighting and signage. The remaining 4,373 square feet is available for lease.

Wing Fiesta opened in late November in the old Sergio's Pizza Building in the downtown plaza across from Safeway. The restaurant specializes in chicken wings and ribs and offers a large variety of side dishes. The business was opened by Gavril Munteanu, with help from the city's Redevelopment Agency, after the completion of extensive tenant improvements. Wing Fiesta joins Yogafina in what used to be one large space that has now been divided. In addition to the interior layout changes, the building has undergone a significant facelift including new paint, lighting and signage and other architectural enhancements.

Unleashed by Petco has signed a lease to open at Greenhouse Marketplace in an approximately 7,300 square foot space. Unleashed by Petco is a new format with a smaller footprint than a typical Petco store. They specialize in pet accessories and food and do not sell pets.

F.H. Dailey Chevrolet, the 101-year-old car dealership with locations on Davis Street and Marina Blvd., was recently purchased by Steve Song. The dealership on Davis Street recently underwent an extensive interior and exterior remodel as part of General Motors national corporate branding and image program. Improvements to the dealership included new exterior cladding, paint, windows, doors, bathrooms, furniture and a large signature blue General Motors arch.
