What Should Replace Fresh Choice Restaurant?

The building has been empty for more than a year.

It's been more than a year since Fresh Choice closed its location at Union City's major retail hub.

There were rumors that Fremont's Hooters would move into the location that is adjacent to Fuddrucker's inside of the Union Landing Shopping Center, but those fell flat when owners told Patch that their deal fell through. 

Thus, the vacant building remains. 

So, Tri-Cities, what business would you like to see replace the former Fresh Choice restaurant? Share your thoughts in our comments section below.

I'd say Hobee's just because I'd like to have one in this area, but the parking at Union Landing is so bad around the Fresh Choice location we avoid that whole area.

I do not care what they put there. I refuse to go to that maze of a parking lot.
Maze a confusing network of intercommunicating paths or passages; labyrinth. any complex system or arrangement that causes bewilderment, confusion, or perplexity: a state of bewilderment or confusion.

Panera Bread would be great in that location, but I agree the parking is a nightmare!
Edward March 2, 2013 at 04:24 pm
Hooters! Close to the freeway and the lagest Theater in the east bay.

Paddys!

We can have another restaurant similar to Fresh Choice, like Sweet Tomatoes.
DrWannabe March 2, 2013 at 05:06 pm
A Pizzeria or Italian Restr would be great! Perhaps an Olive Garden? Parking too much of a headache though!
William Scalice March 2, 2013 at 06:00 pm
How about the Melt?
Christine Rolleri March 2, 2013 at 06:22 pm
Parking space.
Carly March 2, 2013 at 06:30 pm
We need a Trader Joe's in Union Landing!
The Vagenius March 2, 2013 at 06:58 pm
How about a Tony Roma's....mmmm ribs
Barbara Ghiselli March 2, 2013 at 11:00 pm
Market Broiler would be nice, but like all are saying a Parking Lot would be a better choice because of the congestion.

I wish we could have a Cracker Barrel restaurant. They are in every state but the west coast. Good home cooking. But would love to have a Mimi's Cafe in the Tri-City area.

How about tearing the whole damn thing down and build a Drive-In!!!!
Anita March 3, 2013 at 12:52 am
Panera sounds perfect since the closest ones are either by southland mall or in Fremont.

I think it would be a good idea to connect the two vacant restaurants and convert them into a gym facility. Partner up with one of the many possible fitness companies like 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's Gym, Fitness 19 etc. A great way for our community to get healthy.

I agree with alot of the posts, that parking lot has to be one of the worst designs I've ever seen. That being said, Sweet Tomatoes would be great! The old Circuit City is now being renovates for a 24 Hr Fitness.

Suju's Coffee.
Courtney March 3, 2013 at 03:15 pm
Since there is a middle school nearby I suggest like a Quickly or Tapioca Express. Or a McDonald's since there is none that is walking distance.
The Vagenius March 4, 2013 at 01:01 am
Le Boulanger would be nice
Rebecca Krahenbuhl March 4, 2013 at 02:27 am
I say Olive Garden, Amicis pizza, or Armadillo Willys! I don't understand the complaints about parking at all. It's gotten way less crowded at Union Landing. The parking lot is hardly a maze. Of course I'm quite familar with the center.
Rebecca Krahenbuhl March 4, 2013 at 02:29 am
LOL! You must know that it is where the drive ins used to be!!
Rebecca Krahenbuhl March 4, 2013 at 02:29 am
I agree!!
A's Girl March 4, 2013 at 04:28 pm
I think we should have a Sweet Tomatoes where Fresh Choice was and either a Panera Bread or Olive Garden where Tony Roma's was. I also think that they should get rid of Ana Furniture and put in a Bed Bath and Beyond!
A's Girl March 4, 2013 at 04:30 pm
AGREE!!! Panera bread would be great! :)
Antonette Arena March 4, 2013 at 06:33 pm
Amici's would be amazing there.
Jesse March 4, 2013 at 08:31 pm
DAVE&BUSTERS WOULD BE BOMB!...shoooott even if its next to best buy/babies R us, new empty building
Jesse March 4, 2013 at 08:37 pm
Plutos, boiling crab, chic fila?
Bobbie Garcia March 5, 2013 at 11:54 am
Max's Opera House Cafe or South of the Border
Jeannie March 5, 2013 at 02:21 pm
Max's would be good!!
