NEW EATERIES AND UPSCALE JEWELRY DESTINATION HEADED TO VICTORIA GARDENS

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., (September 19, 2016) – Inland Empire shoppers will soon have new food, shopping and entertainment options to enjoy at Victoria Gardens. The center has announced the addition of Jack’s Urban Eats, an urban cafeteria-style restaurant with a hip, laid back atmosphere in its first Southern California location; The State, a communal-focused open air bar and restaurant serving American cuisine with rotating craft drink options; and Swarovski, a well-known international provider of premium jewelry and fashion accessories.

“As the leading shopping destination in the Inland Empire, we continue to provide guests with a socially on-trend environment that creates an enjoyable experience from start to finish,” explains Melina Ferraez, Director of Marketing for Victoria Gardens. “These new offerings will provide fresh opportunities for our shoppers to enjoy the very latest trends in food and fashion.”

Jack’s Urban Eats, which will open at the center in November, offers a diverse mix of award-winning, farm fresh and affordable meals in an environment filled with art, unique décor and upbeat music.

The State, opening in January, is an open air gastro-diner that focuses on communal dining. The restaurant offers a menu ranging from comfort food with a twist to classic gourmet dishes, as well as popular brunch menu complete with several brunch-specific cocktails.

“These two restaurants are leaders in the ‘eatertainment’ movement that is underway throughout the nation,” says Ferraez. “In addition to creative food options, The State specializes in hand-crafted cocktails and has a collection of over 150 whiskeys from around the world, while Jack’s Urban Eats offers a very hip, gastro-style atmosphere that will give guests the chance to customize their dining experience.”

In addition to these eateries, Swarovski will open at Victoria Gardens in November. Founded in 1895, Swarovski designs, creates, and markets the highest quality crystal product collections, such as jewelry, accessories, home décor and figurines. Its goal is to provide high-quality products and services that exceed industry standards.

Jack’s Urban Eats will be located on Monet Ave, The State will be located at 7900 Kew Ave., and Swarovski will be located on South Mainstreet.

“The addition of each of these new retailers signifies the continued evolution of Victoria Gardens as a premier entertainment, food, and shopping destination,” says Ferraez. “We look forward to introducing our guests to these exciting new offerings.”
