Cannabis revenues to drop

in business

Yet another developer agreement for a cannabis retailer was amended by the City Council on Monday in light of a more local competition which will result in less revenue for the city.

The Ceres City Council voted 3-2 to approve changes to the agreement that allows Pacafi Cooperative, Inc., to pay less in fees to operate its Patient Care First dispensary at 1442 Angie Avenue in Ceres.

At the time of the first developer agreement was inked, the Patient Care First began operating in December 2017 with only selling cannabis to medicinal patients. But it later began selling recreational marijuana after California voters approved recreational cannabis use among adults. In the past three years, other jurisdictions like the city of Turlock and Stanislaus County also followed Ceres’ example and began allowing dispensaries, which have cut into sales.

Secondhand boutique moving into permanent downtown home

in business

After just under a year of providing the community with an affordable option when it comes to clothing, consignment boutique Little Red Door is preparing to open its own brick-and-mortar location in downtown Turlock. 

Little Red Door opened last fall as just a small space inside of downtown shop Rustic Roots — a humble beginning that sisters and boutique owners Marissa Miranda and Isabella Cisneros now look back on fondly as they prepare to welcome customers to their new space on the corner of East Main and Thor. 

The boutique aims to give discarded fashion a second chance through a selection of up-cycled clothing hand-picked by the duo. Miranda and Cisneros frequent thrift shops in search of quality fabrics and one-of-a-kind items seldom found in stores today, from vintage Levi’s jeans to handbags from the 60s.

Stanislaus County Announces $2M Grant Program

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a crisis for local arts, cultural, and youth-serving organizations. The public health requirements for safely operating these programs present numerous challenges to nonprofit financial models and affect the design, nature and scale of youth and arts/culture programs.

Considering these challenges and because of the vital role played by these nonprofits, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors approved $2 million in CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds specifically for county nonprofit organizations providing arts, cultural, and/or youth services and programs.

The intention of this funding is to stabilize and secure the ongoing operation of these nonprofit services that are critical to young people and/or contribute to the vibrancy of Stanislaus County. For more information and to apply for this grant visit: www.StanislausCF.org.

Dutch Bros is known for its massive menu of drinks, which includes everything from coffee and smoothies to teas and sodas. There are over 10,000 drink combinations to choose from, but Isaac Schaaf noted that the Rebel Energy drinks and the seasonal crème brûlée pumpkin cold brew are among the shop’s best sellers.

Turlock resident makes impact with healthy drinks

in business

Just over a year ago, Turlock resident Jessica Lozano opened Impact Nutrition 91 with a goal of sharing her passion for health and fitness with the rest of the community. Today, that hope has grown into a loyal customer base whose bodies — and taste buds — benefit from the shop’s variety of healthy treats and drinks on the daily.

Impact Nutrition 91 opened its doors last June and was inspired by Lozano’s commitment to her own wellbeing, which saw her lose 30 pounds by swapping out milkshakes for protein shakes. She wanted to add to Turlock’s list of healthy options and give others the opportunity to change their lives as well, she said.

“I’ve gained so much more energy by staying active and healthy, and I wanted our community to have more choices. Instead of a smoothie that contains a lot of sugar, they can maybe replace that with something healthier with more protein, more calcium and more things that their body actually needs instead of what it craves,” Lozano said.

in business

Modesto is one of the Top 10 rising housing markets in the country, according to a new analysis by a New York-based financial technology company.

The assessment, released by SmartAsset, ranks Modesto sixth in the nation for rising housing markets. Modesto’s ranking is based on its performance in three metrics: income growth, housing demand and home value growth.

SmartAsset found that between 2014 and 2018, Modesto’s population grew by about 2.7% more than the number of housing units in the city. In that same period, Modesto experienced a home value growth of 54.9%, and a median household income increase of over 20%. SmartAsset also ranks Stanislaus County as the county with the highest home value growth in the state, at 57.55%.

Grant program to provide relief for local businesses

in business

After distributing over $3 million in federal aid and community contributions to nearly 350 businesses in the spring, the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors recently approved another opportunity for business owners to receive financial help as the coronavirus pandemic wears on.

The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the establishment of a Business Grant Program during their July 14 meeting, which will utilize a total of $10 million in business revitalization and economic support funding thanks to CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds.

Stanislaus County received $96.1 million of the $150 billion in relief funding included in the CARES Act. In June the Board voted to allocate $15 million of that funding for business revitalization and economic support — $10 million of which has been set aside for the new grant program, $4 million that will be directed to nonprofit organizations in the community and another $1 million which is being considered for a touchless gift card program.
