The Fresno Bee
This Subway shop in the Central Valley is one of the highest ranked in nation. Here's why
Caruthers is a small town just off the 41, about 15 miles south of downtown Fresno. About 2,600 people live there, according to the 2020 census. It has one of the country’s best-rated Subways. The Subway at 2459 W. Tahoe Ave. has 349 reviews on Google and an average rating of 4.80. SEO Backlinks , a digital public relations and data analysis firm, looked at all Subway restaurants with more than 100 reviews and found that makes the Caruthers location the third-best Subway restaurant in the state and the 10th-best Subway in the country. “Every Subway sells the same menu, so when one of them scores this high across hundreds of reviews, it comes down to the people behind the counter,” said Oliver Weston, the founder of SEO Backlinks, in a press release. The Subway is attached to a Valero gas station and a laundromat. Many of the Caruther Subway’s reviews praised the staff’s customer service, with several people detailing how they’re always greeted with a smile.

These Fresno businesses can prepare your family's holiday meal. Here's how it works
A frozen turkey can take several days to thaw, and then several more hours (or longer) to cook. For people who don’t have that kind of time, or who would rather spend it enjoying the company of their family and friends, restaurants and grocery stores around the Central Valley are offering catered holiday meals. Aaron Nielsen, the owner of Southern Hospitality Co. , has been offering catered holiday meals for the last eight years. His catered meals are à la carte, so people can pick and choose which dishes they want to order, as opposed to a set meal. Southern Hospitality Co. offers traditional turkey and honey baked spiral ham, as well as full assortment of sides like parmesan and bacon butter brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls and a $22 pumpkin pie. All orders have a $150 minimum, and the cut-off day to order a Thanksgiving meal from Southern Hospitality is the Monday before Thanksgiving. “I get phone calls the day of,” Nielsen said. Southern Hospitality Co. offers delivery or pickup options on Thanksgiving, which not all places do. Phoenician Garden , which also offers holiday catering, is closed on Thanksgiving, so it tells customers to have

Coffee shop at Fresno's Campus Pointe adds something different. See the new store
Inside Look is a Fresno Bee series where we take readers behind the scenes at restaurants, new businesses, local landmarks and news stories. Running a coffee shop wasn’t enough. So Sumer Rasheed, co-owner of Collect Coffee Bar , decided to open a store next to her coffee shop at Campus Pointe at Fresno State selling some of her favorite things. And it’s not just a store. It’s an experience. Customers can go olive oil tasting. They can make their own perfumes and candles. Children can blow off steam in a kids play area while their parents shop or sip a latte. And more interactive features are coming soon. The store, called Zaytoona , will celebrate its grand opening from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m Saturday. If Zaytoona sounds familiar, it’s because Rasheed and her husband, Jamal Taha, used to run a store of the same name at River Park. It closed several years ago. Now it’s reopen — with some changes — and connected to neighboring business, Collect Coffee Bar, via an open archway. The play area for children with toys and a miniature kitchen is open to customers of either business. Rasheed and her husband bought Collect Coffee several

When wheat kings ruled the valley: The rise and fall of Clovis Cole
The town of Clovis bears his first name. But just who was the famed “Wheat King” Clovis Cole? His story today on KVPR’s Central Valley Roots. Cole was born in Indiana 1856, and came to California in 1873 with his father Stephen H. Cole, who himself would become a future mayor of Fresno. The family homesteaded a farm near Herndon and McCall east of present-day Clovis. The young Cole began his career as a teamster hauling logs in the Sierra. In 1880 he purchased 480 acres near today’s Old Town Clovis. Within four years, Cole’s empire reportedly reached 40,000 acres.
