Business Openings

The Bennett Hospitality Group has signed a lease at 6604 Lonetree Blvd. in the City of Rocklin where they plan to open Bennett’s Westside Kitchen Bar Market in the fall of 2022.

“We are thrilled to be able to move forward with opening a Bennett’s in the beautiful city in which we have lived and raised our family for 25 years,” Owner Brian Bennett said. “We cannot thank Mayor Jill Gayaldo, the Rocklin City Council, City Manager Aly Zimmermann, and the City’s forward-thinking staff enough for their encouragement and collaboration.”

Tempo Studios is a Rocklin-based music studio founded in 2018 that offers lessons in vocals, music theory and a wide range of instruments from electric guitar to bagpipes. Their network of local instructors teach a variety of lesson plans virtually or in studio for any level of aspiring musician, beginner or experienced, young or adult.  

In a time of increased stress and weariness, local business owner Jessica White believes yoga can be a great way to slow down, breath, and practice some much-needed self-care.

Through Genesis Yoga by Jessica, her vision is to offer yoga and wellness services that bring a positive and guiding light to her students’ fitness journey. White is an experienced yoga instructor, and her classes incorporate a variety of restorative movements, breathing exercises, and guided meditation techniques.

After 20 years of serving Nevada City area residents at their brick and mortar store, California Organics is now branching out to bring their high quality grocery products to Rocklin with a curbside pickup location at 4829 Granite Drive, off of Highway 80.

California Organics products are made from scratch using real, organic, GMO free, sustainably produced ingredients.

The Niello Co. is expanding their Rocklin Land Rover site on Granite Drive to include a Jaguar dealership.

The project includes exterior and interior improvements to the existing 13,000-square-foot building, a new 14,000-square-foot addition, and related site work.

“The new dealership will be a welcome addition to the Granite Drive corridor in Rocklin, an area where premium auto dealerships have performed exceptionally well,” said Michael Young, Rocklin spokesperson.

Fast Freddie’s has a new home in Rocklin! The business, owned by Adan Lopez, reopened its doors in the Stanford Ranch Plaza three weeks ago after years of being located in Roseville. Lopez took over the shop from its original owner Freddie 16 years ago, and he kept the name—and most importantly, the brick ovens! The pizza place makes most everything from scratch—dough, sauce, lasagna—and emphasizes its relationship with the customer above all else. “Most people come in for the service,” Lopez said. “All our workers are friendly, and we make everyone feel like family.

“Wash, blo, and go” is the premise for Rocklin’s latest express hair service, Blo Blow Dry Bar! Co-owners Patty Fecanin and Christie Webb are a mother-daughter duo focused on operating a business by women, for women. The goal of the shop is to make sure that all women feel fabulous, and one of the best ways to do that is to give them a beautiful hairstyle that lasts for days. This spa-like location features 10 blow-out stations, along with a makeup bar.

Jon and Bon’s Yogurt Shoppe is the newest addition to the Crossing Shopping Center in Rocklin. The family-owned business started in Chico, and it has since expanded to five locations across Northern California. Typically, the shoppe is open late to encourage community.

The company has frozen yogurt and sugar-free varieties, along with ice cream, smoothies, and shaved ice. Also available are mouth-watering toppings (including homemade granola!). Stop by to cool off or enjoy a sweet treat. Welcome to the neighborhood!

University of Beer (UoB) is not your average bar or restaurant. This is UoB’s fourth location, and the small chain features 48 taps with every kind of craft beer imaginable. Owner Nate Yungvanitsait says that “the goal of the restaurant is to teach our customers about beer instead of just serving it to them.” Employees are well-trained in the art of beer and routinely offer samples to ensure that customers find something they will like. UoB’s wide variety of IPAs, lights, sours, Belgians, and stouts is sure to please.
