If you live around Maple and Behymer, the new shops, restaurants and gas stations going up in your neighborhood share a common thread: Jay Virk.

What’s behind the construction the barricades near McDonald’s at Clovis and Shaw avenues? Construction vehicles are digging up dirt for the next new chain coffee drive-thru. It’s not a Dutch Bros, not a Starbucks, but a 7 Brew Drive Thru Coffee . It’s a drive-thru-only coffee spot at the southwest corner, built in an empty parking lot between McDonald’s and El Pollo Loco. Its Clovis location will be one of the first in California. The Arkansas-based company has been exploding with new locations across the Southwest, particularly in Texas and Arizona. It has more than 900 locations in 38 states. The Clovis location will be 910 square feet with a double drive-thru lane that can hold up to 13 cars, according to a permit approved by the Clovis Planning Commission.

Fresno 93727: A Softer Seller’s Edge and a Shift in the Price Tiers
The last time we looked closely at Fresno 93727, the lowest-priced quarter of the market had the shortest listing time. This time, the middle tiers stand out. That change is a good reminder of why I like revisiting our ZIP codes rather than letting an old market headline do all the talking.

Jeff Nichols, vice president of supply chain and grower relations at Nichols Farms in Hanford, says higher grower prices will not offset the smaller crop.
