The Village at Rancharrah set to open this summer
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - New shops and restaurants at The Village at Rancharrah are set to start opening next month.
“We feel like it’s kind of part of the heart and soul of Reno.”
The new commercial development bringing dining, shopping and office space opportunities to south Reno is under the direction of Tolles Development Company and will house around 20 businesses. It was originally supposed to open in 2020 but was put on hold due to the pandemic.
“We made a decision for everyone to focus on their employees and focus on saving their existing shops and restaurants,” Kyle Rea, Chief Operating Officer with Tolles Development Company said.
The newest confirmed businesses include: Grafted Whiskey & Wine Bar, Mari Chuy’s Tequileria & Botanas, Trademark Jewelry, Bone-ito, Village Well, Waste Less Shop, Boxwood Avenue, and Desert Strands Salon.
“People are craving connection, they’re craving community, to see one another again, and it’s just so important to me to provide a place people can come, have a great time, and feel comfortable,” Jade Bogan, Owner of Grafted Whiskey & Wine Bar said.
Some of the businesses previously announced include Perenn Bakery, Base Camp Pizza Co., Rolled Mountain Creamery, Dorinda’s Chocolates, and Hinoki Sushi. Rea says the Coronavirus is no longer an obstacle.
Rea added, “We feel confident that even if we take a step back in covid, we’ll still be able to offer an upscale platform for our shop and restaurant owners to serve their customers.”
With safety being a top priority, Rea says masks and physical distancing will be different at each location.
“We really want to empower our shops and restaurant owners to make the decisions for their customers to keep everybody safe.”
“With free concerts, public farmers markets, and a family and pet-friendly vibe, our team has been working hard to make sure our community feels welcome and at home at the Village,” said Par Tolles, principal and CEO of Tolles Development Company.
The entire property, which is available to the entire public not only Rancharrah Club Members, is expected to open in summer 2021.
