On Thursday, the City of Oakley welcomed Starbucks and Chipolte as they held two grand opening ceremonies at the new Oakley Shops at Laurel Fields by Regency Centers.
Located at Laurel Road and O’Hara Avenue, construction is still underway at the 8.77 acre center which broke ground last September and upon completion will house Safeway and several other businesses — including the Chipolte and Starbucks.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of Starbucks and the first-ever Chipotle in Oakley! Both are located at the brand-new Oakley Shops at Laurel Fields by Regency Centers on Laurel Road & O’Hara Avenue. These new stores bring even more great dining and gathering options to our community, marking another milestone in Oakley’s momentum of growth,” said the city in a statement.
