Once the Calrsbad CA store is open the Del Mar location will be phased out as the location is not doing as well as expected. Kathy recognizes that the demand for gourmet food has grown tremendously, therefore, opportunities such as geographical expansion throughout California is something that is in the near future. Her goal is to open new stores in San Diego, Palm Springs, San Francisco, and even Santa Barbara. However, the next possible site is in the San Francisco area.
