Mendocino Farms To Launch First Drive-Thru Concept at Scripps Ranch Marketplace

Written by Regency Centers | Jul 24

Mendocino Farms, a fast-casual restaurant chain and West Coast favorite, is set to make its debut at Regency's Scripps Ranch Marketplace later this year. This highly anticipated addition will introduce the company’s very first mobile order pick-up lane, a fully dedicated lane for guests who place their orders ahead.

Renowned for its chef-driven dishes and locally sourced ingredients, Mendocino Farms has cultivated a devoted following that values quality and sustainability. The brand particularly resonates with the community in San Diego, which is home to seven other locations. By introducing its first mobile pick-up lane at Scripps Ranch Marketplace, Mendocino Farms hopes to provide patrons with an even more convenient way to enjoy their favorite fare on the fly.

We’re constantly looking at industry innovations, thinking ahead to meet guests where they are and determine how to be the best option for them,” said Whitney Schwartz, New Store Openings & Local Sales Marketing. “The new mobile pick-up lane will allow guests — from the busy parent with their kids to the office employee rushing on his lunch break — to enjoy Mendocino Farms however is most convenient for them.

Mendocino Farms aspires to be a neighborhood gathering place, a vision that can be seen in everything from employee training to store design. The Scripps Ranch interior will echo a coastal vibe, inviting the community to enjoy fresh, flavorful meals together. Guests will be greeted by “eat happy” signage and digital menu boards. The refurbished exterior will feature a heated patio, outdoor seating, and a foosball table.

The Mendo menu takes guests on a culinary adventure with seasonal sandwiches and salads. New chef-inspired innovations include the Street Corn Chicken Sandwich, Sweet Peach & Goat Cheese Salad, and Summer Heirloom BLT. Guests can also enjoy classics like the Chicken Pesto Caprese and Turkey Avo Salsa Verde.

It’s a testament to our dedication to providing our community with a diverse range of dining choices that are both delicious and convenient.
