Shortly after the New Year, El Guapo's announced that they were closing temporarily. They were adamant that they'd be back, but it was simply not tenable for them to continue operating under the current business climate. They let their fans know that they'd be closing until further notice on January 9th, but hordes of El Guapo fans made sure they'd know how much they would be missed in the meantime by hitting their online ordering so hard on their last day before shutting down that their ordering system crashed.

We have the sad news that someone you may have met in your visits to Downtown Campbell recently passed away. Dani worked at Bombshell Boutique, Orchard Valley Coffee, and possibly some other shops too. If you knew Dani and want to pitch in a little something to help the family with funeral expenses, please see this post from Bombshell Boutique.

The news that Stripes Boutique is closing was a terrible way for Downtown Campbell to start 2021, but in the end it should be the best for Elise and her family. Elise wasn't just the owner of a popular shop of artisan children's clothing for over 8 years, she was a member of the Downtown Campbell Business Association's board and someone who actively contributed to the culture of our Downtown.

Downtown Campbell will be diminished in her absence. We wish Elise all the love in the world and hope that the broken pieces of one dream will find their way into a mosaic more beautiful than the original objects that were used to make it. Thank you for the last 8+ years, Elise. Here's a word of gratitude and hopes of better days ahead.

Have you felt like you’ve needed more support inside your running or walking shoes? If so, insoles are a great place to start. Every person has a different arch height and most of the time each of your feet has a different arch.

Fleet Feet Monterey invites you to stop by our store, where we can scan your foot to see what arch height you have and which arch support would work best for you - we carry a variety of insoles at 472 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Know what kind of gear you need already? Check out our online store.
