New businesses launch in Escondido

New businesses and restaurants featuring a range of specialties from baby clothing to barbecue to tea have opened in recent weeks or are poised to open before summer’s end.

Many of the owners said that launching a new business is a scary prospect, but they are confident about their endeavors.

“I’m just a firm believer that we’re never going to get out of this (economic) mess unless somebody takes a risk so I decided to be the one to take the risk,” said Karen Delgadillo, owner of baby boutique The Knitten Kitten.

Here’s a look at several new businesses around downtown Escondido.

California Avocado Grill , 136 W. Grand Ave.; (760) 291-1040; calavogrill.com and Facebook.

“I’m a farmer trying to create customers for my fruit,” Bonsall avocado rancher Alex MacLachlan said of his new restaurant, which is expected to open the first week of August.

MacLachlan, a San Pasqual High School graduate who was raised in Old Escondido surrounded by avocado trees, said he used to ride his skateboard on Grand Avenue past the avocado-green building with an expansive back patio that houses his restaurant. “It doesn’t get much more local than me.”

MacLachlan and his wife created the menu, in which avocado is a prominent ingredient in every dish, including dessert.

Grand Garage Gear , 158 E. Grand Ave.; (760) 745-5438 or (888) 711-5438; aclifts.com.

Debra and Brad Davies have run American Custom Lifts since 1998, mostly out of their Lake Wohlford area home. When they decided to set up a traditional office space and demonstration shop for their automotive lift business, they thought the home of the weekly Cruisin’ Grand classic car show would be the perfect fit.

Downtown business requirements call for a retail element to Grand Avenue businesses, so the Davieses are opening a store that will sell replica-vintage 1950s and 1960s garage-type items. Around Aug. 5, the target opening date for Grand Garage Gear, automobile aficionados will be able to browse for accessories such as a barbecue grill shaped like a car engine or a freezer designed as an old-fashioned Coca-Cola chest. Vintage clocks with automotive-related logos, old-fashioned pedal cars and tin automobile signs will be among the inventory.
