The Fontana store will be their 8th location and will be prominently featured on the freeway pylon and shopping center monument signage.
Built in 1983, the well-established Vineyard Valley Center has outstanding visibility on the I-10 freeway at Sierra Avenue with traffic counts of over 200,000 cars per day. The center is also directly across from the +/-50-acre Kaiser Permanente medical campus at the signalized intersection of Sierra Avenue and Valley Boulevard with combined traffic counts of 63,700+ cars per day. In addition, the center boasts impressive demographics with more than 344,000 people in a 5-mile radius with an average household income in excess of $83,000.
According to Paul Galmarini, “We are excited to welcome Crazy Boss to Vineyard Valley Center. The excellent discount retailer co-tenancy, outstanding freeway visibility and strong demographics made this a very attractive location for Crazy Boss to expand.”
Galmarini added, “We went from listing to a fully executed lease within 6 months which is highly unusual for a 100,000+ square-foot space further demonstrating the strength of the location. Not only will the local community have a fun new place to shop, it’s also great news for the center gaining a new anchor tenant that will draw more traffic to the property.”
