New business openings in Cameron Park in 2025

I hope you are having a great Christmas season this year. This is Hayden LePore. Cameron Park has welcomed two new businesses over the past year I think you would want to hear about. 

Habit Burger Grill. It is located where KFC used to operate at in the Bel Air Goldorado Shopping Center. The address is 3959 Cameron Park Drive. I have eaten there a few times over the past year. Mainly with my friend who enjoys eating there that I have become good friends over the past few months. I enjoy their chicken sandwich with the fries. It is a pleasant addition to the fast-casual restaurant scene in Cameron Park.

Quick Quack Car Wash. It is located across the street from ARCO and Churchill's Hardware at 2525 Cameo Drive. Quick Quack offers fast lines with a three-minute Express Wash, which cleans with a Soft-Touch Wash and Triple-Foam Wash, a 3-Step Paint Sealant Process, Tire Shine and Wheel Bright, a Cermaic Duck Coating, and Free Vacuums + Dash Wipes. They started in 2004 as an idea and a desire by a few business partners to wake up every morning feeling that their efforts were changing lives for the better. Fast forward to 2025 where they are headquartered in Roseville, California and now owns and operates more than 300 locations across Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, and Utah. 

Into the North Bookstore, which opened 7 months ago in May of 2025, which specializes in Books, Nature, Adventure, Art, and Gifts, and R Squared Bakery and Cafe which specializes in baked goods, coffee, and canned goods (jams, dill pickles) opened on December 9th, 2025 in the Burke's Junction shopping center.

Also of note, the Sinclair Gas Station in Cameron Park has changed owners and is now Grand Gasoline. And there is a new grocery store coming soon called Cornerstone Grocery Market at the location of where Team Cycle was originially located at 2555 Greenwood Lane.

UC Davis and its arboterum

 Hi everyone, I'm back. And I am here to talk about my visit to Davis last week with my friends. We walked around the campus of UC Davis and learned that they have a beautiful area that is their Arboretum, which is along the original path of Putah Creek, which is actually now a pond called the Arboretum Waterway since the creek is now diverted south of town (1). It is a 100-plus acre amenity comprised of demonstration gardens and scientific collections - The Putah Creek Riparian Reserve - managed for teaching, research, habitat, and wildlife protection (2). Along the pond they have many beautiful plants and trees along the path. Redwood trees, gum trees, oak trees, for example.

Other things we did that day were eating at the Burgers and Brew restaurant with my friends eating their delicious pastrami burger with fries (3). And walking the town in its downtown area which is very fun to visit with stores such as Bizzaro World, which is a fun store with comic books, retro board games and video games, CDs, and a full DVD/VHS rental/buying section, an operating 80s/90s/2000s time machine and a fun treat in the 2020s.(4) We visited the store Creme de la Creme gifts which is a cute shop with gifts for the home, for her, and for the baby, as the shop proudly claims (5). It was a very fun day walking around a beautiful town lined with trees along the streets, a beautiful university campus, a fun downtown to visit, and a beautiful parkway with plants and trees. I hope you had fun learning about Davis and I hope you can visit Davis sometime if you have the chance!! Thank you for reading!!

In Folsom: Out with Walgreens, in with a fun trampoline park

 

There's a new kids fun and trampoline park in Folsom. It is located in an unusual location for a trampoline park, in a former Walgreens location, which is at 1100 Riley Street right near Walmart and Kohl's and Lembi Park. The park is called Altitude Trampoline Park(1), which is part of a chain of around 60 and counting locations and is their first in the Sacramento region and one of two locations in Northern California, the other one being in San Jose. They offer their customers a basketball trampoline dunk court, a battle beam foam pit, a dodgeball court, trampolines, a kid's PlayPlace, similar to, but larger than the McDonald's and Burger King PlayPlaces(2) and a toddler kid's play area. Since this location is a bit small compared to the typical trampoline park, the offerings may be more limited than other Altitude parks and it may be good to check if they have these attractions before you visit. It is a cool addition to the city for kids and it helps compensate for the recent loss of the amazing McDonald's on Iron Point Road which recently closed and removed its PlayPlace shortly before it closed(3). If you are a customer of Walgreens and found the title upsetting, Walgreens still operates in Folsom at East Bidwell St near Home Depot. Anyways, Please give this place a try, if you have kids or grandkids that are wanting to play on trampolines and an indoor PlayPlace, and to keep business local in the area. 

Thank you for reading my blogpost and please let me know what you think of the park if you visit.
