Koreander is Coming to QBA Site

Bubble tea, anyone? From the looks of things at 128 Watchung Avenue, it appears that QBA has not . Posters in the windows at the ever-evolving corner restaurant spot are heralding the arrival of Koreander Fusion Cafe.

Only in October, a sign reading "Business Partner Wanted" showed up in the window at the closed brick and mortar extension of the popular QBA food truck. The sign in the window also included a plea to: "Help Save QBA!" In addition, a post also appeared on QBA's facebook page, "seeking business partner."

At the time, owner Lynna Martinez said she had taken QBA as far as she could on her own, and was hoping to find a business partner "with industry experience and just enough money to help me reopen the store."
