Restaurants

Restaurant and beverage establishments are an important part of economic life in Eastvale. The goal is to reposition the city to capture a dedicated share of the local market from food, arts, and culture to hospitality, entertainment, and services.

In Eastvale, there is a $68-million-dollar sales tax leakage in the food and beverage industry, which equates to approximately $713,000 in potential sales tax revenue each year. When residents are eating outside our city, that money is going to other communities and contributing to services those cities provide for their residents.

“When we started looking into Eastvale we knew this was the best place because of the mixed culture. They were very welcoming and really wanted new businesses to come to Eastvale, so the process was very smooth.” – Amie Chu, District Manager, Ten Ren’s Tea Time
