The Apple Store is Leaving Escondido

Apple plans to close its store inside the North County Mall in Escondido this June. They are permanently closing two additional U.S. retail stores in June 2026—in Towson, MD, and Trumbull, CT—primarily due to declining conditions at shopping malls, including the loss of other retailers and reduced foot traffic. While closing these locations, Apple continues to open new stores, indicating a targeted reduction in underperforming malls rather than Apple stores in general.

San Diego to Host First California Michelin Guide Awards Ceremony

The Michelin Guide has officially announced it will hold its 2026 California restaurant awards ceremony in San Diego on June 24.

San Diego hosting the 2026 California award doesn’t mean that we will be receiving any special recognition, but it at least means that we will get national press attention to our five Michelin-starred restaurants and food scene.
