Popular taco restaurant coming to Foothills
August 21, 2010 3:47 PM
Las Palapas is coming to the Foothills. The popular taco restaurant will be opening a store inside the Chevron station on Fortuna Road, confirmed John Bornt, general manager for Shay Oil.
He said he had received various inquiries about the space formerly occupied by Quiznos. Las Palapas will be nice because it is local and “its food is good,” he said.
It should be ready to open by late September or early October.
In other Chevron activity, the fuel dispensers for the station at 500 E. 32nd St. are closed for upgrades that include new gas lines and new dispensers, all of which will have diesel as well as gasoline. The convenience store remains open during the construction.
The project is expected to be completed and the dispensers reopened before Labor Day.
