Fulton mall is an outdoor mall that once was a very attractive and busy area to downtown Fresno.
Unfortunately, its business has been running slow and not many people are there for the shops however, people still go for the art that surrounds the mall.
There are some shops that still run but it’s a very slow area for merchandisers. Starting a business in this area would be a risk that owners would have to take since this area is no longer lively.
Fresno Brewing Restaurant Company has been one to take on that challenge. This new restaurant/café, located on Fulton Street, was opened by Ephraim and Sara Bosse on Dec. 1, 2011.
“We really have a heart for wanting to see downtown be revitalized and for people to come down and feel comfortable here,” Ephraim Bosse said.
“We felt like if it was going to happen, we needed to be a part of it,” said Bosse.
In addition, the owners like to host a free themed movie or karaoke night one weekend out of the month.
Live music is always a hit and a great way to relax, so every Thursday between noon and 1 Steve Ono, acoustic jam happening guitarist, performs at the café.
The Fresno Brewing Company also has a newly added section where it features the off-shoot of Twee, the original Indy craft shop in the Tower District.
The café serves drinks such as special types of coffee, as well as pastries. Hopefully by next year, they will begin brewing their own beer.
The prices are very low and you get so much more than what you pay for, which is always nice.
The Aztec Warrior, a specialty drink inspired by downtown workers, is a mocha drink with Mexican chocolate and shots of espresso and is under $5.
The Bacon Broccoli Strata, which is an egg and cheese omelet topped with bacon, is a breakfast meal said to be one of the most popular items on the menu, only costing $3.50.
The Fresno Brewing Company also recently added an item that is featured only on Saturdays called the “I’ll never drink again” breakfast burrito. The burrito is made of two eggs, two hash browns, bacon, pepper jack cheese, red peppers, salsa and it also includes either a V8 or cup of coffee for only $7.
