Dutch Bros in Redding raises funds for Turtle Bay animals
Dutch Bros locations in Redding, Anderson, and Palo Cedro are donating $1 from every drink sold today to Turtle Bay Exploration Park — money that will go toward supporting rescued animals and educational programs. Turtle Bay even brought out animal ambassadors like Tumbleweed, a Sonoran Desert Tortoise who was once kept illegally as a pet, as a reminder of why rescue and education matter.

Anthony’s Bar & Grill is a Mediterranean odyssey into food and drink
Stepping into Anthony’s Mediterranean Bar & Grill in downtown Redding is best described as two experiences in one. There’s the restaurant side, where diners can explore the healthy flavors of Greek cuisine, and then there’s a hidden part in the rear – a modern-day speakeasy that caters to connoisseurs of top-shelf liquor. Anthony’s owner Amin Wahbi declares on his website that he has the best Greek food in the North State. “Of course,” he says. “We have really good food.” Wahbi has pretty much cornered the market on Greek fare in Redding. Originally from Syria, Wahbi moved to Redding in 2007 when he was 24. He came here after living in Michigan for 4 years, where he was in the liquor business. He purchased Bob’s Liquors on Hartnell Avenue, which he still owns, and in 2011 opened the Greek Shack in a blue hut next door. Wahbi expanded by opening the original Anthony’s Mediterranean Cuisine in July 2015 on Eureka Way in west Redding. His loyal fan base was disappointed when he closed that location in 2021 in his quest to open a full restaurant and bar. He also operated a drive-thru kiosk called Xander’s Greek Gyro on Churn Creek

Great Harvest still coming to Hartnell? Downtown mural vanishes
It has been over a year since news broke in this column that Great Harvest Bread was returning to Redding under a new franchisee. The former operators who ran the franchise since 2007 on Hilltop Drive in the Chuck E. Cheese shopping center sold the business. The new owners planned to revive the brand in the former Round Table Pizza building on Hartnell Avenue. A coming soon sign went up. To date, no one has applied for a building permit with the city to start work on the new Great Harvest. I recently spoke to Ron Stickney, who is part of the new ownership group, and he told me they still plan to open Great Harvest Bakery & Cafe. He said the parent company had sold and that in part was holding up the process. Stickney's group does not own the building. Meanwhile, this past spring, the former pizza building showed up on the city’s code enforcement radar. In his administrative compliance order, Neighborhood Preservation Officer William Eddins noted several violations, including blight, the buildup of trash and debris, and the condition of the parking lot. The building’s owner had until May 18 to comply. “Permits from the building department
