Three businesses in the Vine Heights district-Barksdale Bakery, Triollo Grill, and Raley's Laundromat-have closed recently. Barksdale Bakery, a regional chain that also has a location in Balboa Shopping Mall, closed its Vine Heights location on October 9. Company spokesperson Brenda Chiu said it "had become difficult to compete" in the area, as a number of neighborhood coffee shops have been expanding their offerings of baked goods. - [l] -.
Triollo Grill, a Mexican-Japanese fusion restaurant, has been closed for two weeks, and a "space available" sign now hangs on its door. The popular eatery had been operating at 56 Dew Street. - [2] -. Its owner, Antonio Cruz, said he will reopen his establishment in a larger space near Alvin Park.
Raley's Laundromat closed last week. It offered customers self-service, coin-operated laundry machines, along with laundry soap vending machines. "With all the recent development, the neighborhood is changing," said owner Dolores Raley. "The new apartment buildings, such as the Deltonne, are equipped with in-unit washers and dryers. So demand for our services is decreasing." She added that, as part of a trend, several local laundromats are being converted into restaurants. - [3] -.
Ms. Raley moved her business to 17 Butler Avenue, where she has also started to offer commercial laundry services. - [4] -. Only one self-service laundry establishment, Laundry Breeze, still exists in the Vine Heights district.
The district is also left with only one eatery, Tampico Burrito, that serves Mexican food, white a food truck, Ivy's Quick Bites, offers its only Japanese food. |
