Reader Glenn let me know that a 7-Eleven store has opened at 6545 Trigo Road (next to Crushcakes) in Isla Vista and that three new restaurants are planning to join the community. First, “Blaze Pizza” is coming to where the Pasta House was at 6546 Pardall Road. Second, a salad place might be opening next to Sorriso Italiano, 901 Embarcadero del Mar. Lastly, a Chinese restaurant could be setting up shop next to Giovanni’s, 6583 Pardall Road.
