Patch Chat: Shop Moorpark

I was sad to notice last week that another Moorpark business has closed.

This time it was Swagat, the only Indian restaurant in town, that was located in the Mission Bell (Albertson's) shopping center, but it's not the first Moorpark restaurant to close; We've even lost some chains, like Wendy's and Daphnes.

And that's just restaurants. Storefronts all over Moorpark stand empty, so we wanted to ask the community business-related questions this week.

First we want to know what sort of businesses you think would do well here. And what do you think it takes to make a business successful in Moorpark?

Do you subscribe to the "Shop Moorpark" philosophy? What would make you go outside of the city to shop? What sort of things would entice you to spend your money in Moorpark?

Ok, Moorpark, let's hear it.
