The space is part of the 550,000+ square foot Foothill Marketplace shopping center which is anchored by Wal Mart and Food 4 Less. The popular center is ideally situated at the SEC of the heavily traveled 1-15 freeway and Foothill Boulevard with excellent visibility to over 150,000 cars per day.
Umi Hotpot Sushi & Seafood Buffet has multiple locations with several more in the pipeline throughout the United States. Umi—meaning ocean in Japanese—serves an extensive Asian inspired buffet including premium seafood, fresh sushi, chicken and beef dishes, vegetables, desserts and more. Open for lunch and dinner, UMI Buffet offers a casual family friendly dining experience and is projected to open in Spring of 2026.
In addition to Wal Mart and Food 4 Less, Foothill Marketplace is home to Living Spaces, Guitar Center, Mor Furniture and over 20 other shops, services and dining spots.

Within a 5-mile radius there are over 284,000 residents with an average household income of $109,317.
