Ironically they tend to duplicate what's at the other shopping centers to make it a default shopping center for the closest residents.
I'd love to see a Sprouts Farmers Market. Some good restaurants too. I loves Noodles & Company but they'll never open there

No Starbucks! Peet's will be great but it's probably too close to the OH location.
I would like some good restaurants and a Target!

i figured that is what it was. ARCO was my client back in the day. and my inlaws used to own gas stations, both private label and branded, for the private label locations they sourced the gas from independent distributors as well as from the big boys. all gas station gasoline is the same, they all need to meet EPA standards. ARCO is BP, ARCO gas meets the Top Tier designation, just like Exxon, Chevron etc. the costco gas is just as good as every other gas. dont believe the hype. ARCO gas was always cheaper because they didnt accept credit cards, some still dont, some do. Cheaper always gets a bad reputation, but in the case of ARCO its not deserved.
http://www.businessinsider.com/no-reason-not-to-use-cheap-off-brand-gas-2013-8
here is an excerpt, business insider references consumer reports:
Independent stations usually buy their fuel from larger, name-brand oil companies, so it?s not much different from what you?d get for a higher price down the road. Off-brand gasoline is sometimes formulated without additives designed to clean the engine, but your car should run fine on that gas.
by the way, that additive (detergent) costs less than 1 penny per gallon.

Only thing I don't like about Costco gas is that they are 10% to 15% ethanol. It's cheaper but you might get less mile out of it. For most cars, you probably couldn't tell the difference. But for older or high performance vehicles, there will be a noticeable differences in diminish MPG and performance.

I like Arco because they usually have an AM/PM attached.
Bad food is so good.

Target. Target. Target.
Fedex Kinkos would be nice (there aren't any in the entire Woodbury/Portola part of Irvine). Not that I use one that often, but it'd be great for the times I need one. I'd certainly use it more than a daycare.
Pieology (or similar pizza place)
Peets. Solely for their pumpkin spice latte during the fall. Someone else mentioned that the OH location may be too close for a location here. Yup, I agree. But, that never stops Starbucks.
A fast food place or two with 24 hour (or at least past 10 pm) drive thru. Getting home late nights I have to go out of my way for a quick bite to eat.
Gas station.
Sprouts or Whole Foods would be nice.
