Business Openings
Impact Axe
Impact Axe, an indoor axe throwing and craft beer lounge, is the latest in recreation in Rocklin—and it’s entirely safe (yes, even with the alcohol). The business opened just under a month ago by three couples who wanted to create a space for people to spend time together and enjoy each other’s company. They have partnered with Wounded Warrior Project and were involved with the first day of Rocklin Police’s six week K-9 training! Kristi Torrington, one of the partners, said, “We want to make you feel at home when you walk in.
Fast Freddie’s
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.
The Lamb & The Wolf
Rocklin’s newest Greek restaurant, characterized as a “food truck off the wheels,” is now open. In November, Chef Michael “Wolf” Athanasopoulos opened the brick and mortar version of his thriving Greek and Mediterranean food truck business that serves much of Northern California. “The whole vision of the restaurant is a casual eatery that still has the charm of a food truck,” Chef Wolf says.
Blo Blow Dry Bar
“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.
Dogtopia
Dogtopia, the newest doggie daycare center in Rocklin, had its grand opening August 24 and is already thriving. The daycare’s number one emphasis is on safety so that your dog is entertained and well-cared for the entire day. This is all evident in the initial evaluation with every dog and required standard vaccines before being accepted, playrooms that separate dogs by temperament and size, and rooms and crates that are deep-cleaned twice daily.
Jon and Bon’s Yogurt Shoppe
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!
The Curry Leaves
The Curry Leaves is a family-style restaurant offering authentic
South/North Indian and Chinese cuisine at 6502 Lonetree Blvd. You
can either dine-in, take-out, or cater your choice
of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
University of Beer
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.
Hard Exercise Works
It’s a concept most people believe, but one that many may not have tested. The Hard Exercise Works website promises new members will “Flip truck tires, climb ropes, and get your first pull up, all in 5 weeks.” Each exercise is class is scaled to your level of fitness, and flexible scheduling ensures you won’t have to rearrange your life to fit in a workout.
The gym is the first HEW location in California.
Tea Republic
Rocklin’s newest milk tea option, Tea Republic, opened in January at 4810 Granite Drive, Suite A6, in the Sierra Meadows Plaza.
Tea republic serves traditional milk teas, as well as fruit tea drinks and ice blended smoothies and slushes. The cafe style establishment also offers filling food options, including poke bowls, sandwiches and other small bites. Support local business and pay them a visit.
Roseville Motorsports
Interested in a new or pre-owned ATV, motorcycle, dirt bike, scooter, UTV or watercraft? Roseville Motorsports, now located in Rocklin at 6005 Pacific Street, may have just what you’re looking for.
Owner Sean Cope founded the business in 2002 with great customer service and a world-class shopping experience in mind. Today, the business is one of the largest Yamaha dealers in northern California, and also specializes in Kawasaki, Polaris®, Star Motorcycles or Ural Sidecar Motorcycles.
The Pastrami Shop
Curiosity about The Pastrami Shop at 3101 Sunset Boulevard has been high in Rocklin as the shop’s business sign has been up for the past few months but the doors not open.
Campfire Natural Dog Treats
Campfire Natural Dog Treats was already a successful online business and owners recently decided to open their first brick and mortar location in Rocklin.
“At Campfire Treats, we are dedicated to making completely natural, single and limited ingredient dog treats and chews using carefully selected ingredients, like chicken, beef and cod, that we source from U.S. farmers and fishermen. Nothing is imported, and we don’t use any additives, artificial colors or preservatives – ever.”
Santillan Jewelers
Santillan Jewelers opened its new location in early 2018 bringing custom made jewelry and cutting edge designs in all categories of jewelry to Rocklin.
