Koala Bean, the new coffee shop in the York Crossing Shopping Center, Hayes, had its soft opening this past Saturday and will hold its grand opening this coming Saturday. The business will have an official ribbon cutting for its location at 9 a.m.
“I feel great” (about the location opening Saturday), said owner Bryan Enriquez. “After having the soft opening, I am confident now to make some changes and keep producing good products for the company.”
