This weekend while I was driving around Irvine (I was heading for Yogurtland next to Taiko), I noticed that most shopping centers are managed by the Irvine Company and the few that are not seem to be much more busy. At first I wondered why, but then I noticed that the non-Irvine Company centers seemed to have a lot more Asian and Persian businesses. I find it interesting that the majority of Irvine seems to be non-white, yet the Irvine Company seems only to rent chain stores with very few ethnic restaurants. Is this because of the rents they charge or are they purposely trying to hold on to the Orange County image?
What shopping centers in Irvine are not managed by the Irvine Company and is there a greater diversity in these centers?
