Clovis city officials are considering a different approach to draw new retailers there, according to an article in today's paper. They want residents to write letters to leaders of stores and restaurants they'd like to see in the area, urging them to establish locations in Clovis.
I like the sound of that. Much as I love living in Clovis, I can definitely think of gaps in available services, things that I absolutely have to drive to Fresno to find the selection I need.
I got a gift card to a Barnes & Noble for Christmas. But I haven't used it yet, wanting to wait until I have time to peruse the vast selection at the store at Nees and Blackstone, rather than be limited by the smaller selection at the former B.Dalton site on Shaw and Minnewawa closer to home, which is now owned by Barnes & Noble.
And there are definitely dining options I'd love to see in Clovis, Logan's, Dai Bai Dang and In-n-Out Burger topping my list.
What businesses would you like to see in Clovis? Or, if you live somewhere other than Clovis, what businesses are missing from your community? Is it worth your time to write a letter to try to draw them here?

I can't believe it -- you didn't mention Ruby Tuesday!
YES! I totally forgot Ruby Tuesday. They make me crazy with their advertisements, which play on the Food Network. But there isn't a Ruby Tuesday -- or their triple prime burgers -- to be found within hundreds of miles of here!!
