FEB 2014 – MEMBER PROFILE – Sizzler Restaurant

Sizzler where America come to eat.

It all began on January 27, 1958. With fifty dollars in the cash register, Del and Helen Johnson opened “Sizzler Family Steak House” in Culver City, California.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was in his second term as the 34th President of the United States. A 14-year-old Bobby Fischer took the United States Chess Championship. “Gigi” won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The American girl group The Shirelles began.

And finally, everyone could enjoy a great steak dinner at an affordable price. ($1.19 back then)

Sizzler is a family casual dining restaurant emphasizing value, high quality food and hospitality. Sizzler introduced the “fast casual” service style more than 50 years ago. Today, guests order and pay upon arriving, enjoy Sizzler’s signature Endless Salad Bar and fresh baked breads until their meal delivered by servers who refresh beverages, clear tableware and tend to any other customer needs.

USDA tri tip steaks cut fresh daily, seafood (including fresh Salmon) and fresh ground beef burgers, complemented by Sizzler’s famous 50+ item salad bar includes hot appetizers, a make-it-yourself taco bar, hand-made salads, from scratch soups and desserts.

Whether you are looking for a quick lunch or leisurely dining with friends and family Sizzler has something for every appetite.

JAN 2014 – The Chamber Basks in the After-Glow

The neon is packed away, the lights are dimmed and the glow gear has darkened, but the memories linger. Hundreds gathered at Redlands City Hall in the chill of the night, charged and ready to go. The Music pounding the beat, the lights dazzling the minds and pretty soon the DJ indicated it was time to head out onto the streets of Redlands. A mass of glowing undulating runners, walkers, strollers and revelers headed out into the darkness. It wasn’t long before the first and fastest ones returned and then the rest showed up thrilling us with stories of night time running. The event, a first time in Redlands and a first time for the Redlands Chamber, could not have been possible without the generous support of race sponsors, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Barich & Associates Insurance, KFROG 95.1, Jean Showalter – State Farm Ins., Southern California Edison, New Day Solar, Visiting Angels, Alta Vista Credit Union, Redlands Blueprint & Commercial Printing and JAM Sportswear, what a team!!

The volunteers that secured the streets making the adventure safe are to be thanked as well, without them the course would not have been open and accessible.

It was a dazzling event that left a sparkling impression, hats off to everyone !!!

JAN 2014 – President’s Article by Geoff Bonney

Happy New Year!  We are looking forward to another exciting year here at the Redlands Chamber of Commerce.  In 2014 we will build on the successes of last year as well as continue to look for ways to improve the services we provide to our membership.

Our first Light Run was a success.  This event is not only a fundraiser for the Chamber, but also brings people from outside Redlands to our local businesses.  The goal is to grow the Light Run into a stable event we can look forward to every year.

As we continue to evaluate how the benefits to our members, we are looking at changes in how people interact and conduct business.  The electronic age continues to grow.  In response we have expanded our presence on the internet and in social media, and are looking for ways to help our members do the same.  E-blasts provide a cost effective way to get your message out to our membership.  The Chamber website is a constant work in progress, with the objective of becoming a first source for anyone interested in the Redlands business community.  However, in this age of instant electronic communication we also recognize that there is no substitute for face-to-face contact.  Events such as Rise ‘n’ Shine and Business to Business, monthly networking lunches will continue to provide opportunities to meet in person.

With the upcoming elections I’m sure there will be plenty to of other tasks to keep us busy.  The Government Review Committee will monitor the slate of candidates as they develop, and continue to watch the legislative agenda for bills that will help or hurt our business environment.

As always, we welcome and depend on your input for how we can serve the membership this coming year.  We have an experienced board of directors returning with a desire to continue the effort of keeping the Redlands Chamber of Commerce one of the best.

JAN 2014 – MEMBER PROFILE – Cajon Pharmacy Brings Back Family and Familiar Service

 Cajon Pharmacy, located at 232 Cajon St. is a locally-owned, independent pharmacy that is committed to personal service and educating their customers about their health.  They strive to place their customers first and provide them with consideration, fast service, and old fashion courtesy.

 The pharmacy re-opened its doors for business in November, 2012, bringing back a tradition of friendly neighborhood service and a connection to the community.

 Now owned and operated by Khalid Mahfouz, he worked for Cajon Pharmacy when it was owned by Stan and Ellen Weisser.

 After the original Cajon Pharmacy was sold to a large drug company and later closed Mahfouz decided he wanted to be a part of bringing back the old-time feel and reputation that followed the pharmacy for so long. He wanted to restore is place in the history of Redlands.

 Along with his wife and family and employees he reinvigorated the pharmacy doing a remodel that accommodated customers’ needs.  Customers frequently comment on the satisfaction of coming into a small business where you are greeted with a smile, and a warm welcome; where service is the cornerstone of the operation and where every effort is made to meet your needs, whether it’s simply to pick up prescriptions or consult with the pharmacist.

Prescriptions and refills can be ordered via the internet and transfers from other pharmacies are easily done.

 Mahfouz is committed to investing in the community and being a part of the fabric of Redlands, as well as keeping his customers healthy.

 The store is open from 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Fridays, 9AM to 1 PM Saturdays.
