They were the first ones there when they opened, so no excuses why it shouldn't have been clean. Dirty windows, wall, and even the tables. Then we go into the cleanliness, and to be a well established chain, it should have been better. From what they told me, the waiter did his best on making their experience satisfying.

The city of West Covina is working on relocating Bob’s and coming up a plan to relocate other affected businesses, Touhey said. “I’d like to know if we are still going to be here.”
“I would really like to know what is going on,” Bayer said. But the businesses along the offramp are more concerned with their jobs than with traffic congestion. The expansion is expected to save nearly two million hours of commute time once complete. A construction contract is expected to be awarded in May, according to Caltrans documents. Plans for the second phase, which stretches east from Puente Avenue to Citrus Avenue, were completed in August. “It allows people to get where they need to go, and it gets people to ride together, which is good for the environment.”Ĭaltrans is in the first phase of the carpool lane project, working on the stretch between the 605 Freeway and Puente Avenue. “An HOV lane adds more capacity to the freeway,” Chandler said. The Caltrans HOV expansion is a three-phase project aimed at creating carpool lanes on each side of the interstate from Los Angeles to the San Bernardino County line. Chandler said that the state gives ample notice to property owners – “quite a long time” before Caltrans begins to work on a project. Under eminent domain, the state of California is entitled to purchase private land for public use. Mall officials did not return calls for comment. “The land may have been purchased in anticipation of the HOV project,” noted Patrick Chandler, a Caltrans spokesman. “We are in constant communication with mall management and they haven’t said anything about it to us.”Īt&t assistant store manager Martin Choe also said he had not heard of any plans to relocate. “As far as I know, the mall still owns this land,” Gallegos said. Jamba Juice manager Alex Gallegos said he also was unaware of any pending relocation plans. “No one has told us anything about having to close or relocate,” said Michelle Bayer, a CPK manager.
The other shops in the line of the Caltrans wrecking ball were largely unaware that they will have to relocate in the near future. “They knew they were going to be forced to relocate in the next eight months.” 1, business was tough, but mainly (Bob’s owners) did not want to struggle there and get leveled anyway,” Touhey said. The project will require the use of the land once partly occupied by Bob’s on the northeast end of mall property that still counts AT&T, California Pizza Kitchen and Jamba Juice among its renters. “We are working to relocate those businesses elsewhere in the city, such as within the mall,” Touhey said.īob’s closed for a variety of issues, Touhey added, but it was mainly fueled by the state’s expansion of the high occupancy vehicle lanes along the 10 through the San Gabriel Valley.
Touhey said Tuesday that an expansion of carpool lanes will affect a number of businesses along the 10 Freeway offramp at Vincent Avenue. So they weren’t surprised when the iconic franchise suddenly closed early last month.īut according to West Covina Councilman Mike Touhey, Bob’s Big Boy shuttered in anticipation of a Caltrans project that may lead to several more business closures. WEST COVINA – Officials at businesses surrounding Bob’s Big Boy at the Westfield West Covina mall said the restaurant just wasn’t doing well.
