It seems as though Moraga businesses are doing a kind of square dance.
Surprising many regulars, Jack in the Box abruptly closed at Moraga Shopping Center. On the other side of the street, the Moraga UPS store is moving around the corner from its present location to the larger space vacated by a flower shop long ago, the better to serve its burgeoning business.
Over in Rheem Shopping Center, Starbuck's is moving to Burger King's spot so it can offer drive-through service. And Burger King? Well, there is a nice space available over in Moraga Shopping Center.
For more on these unfolding developments, see the story on page A4.
Moraga Employee of the Month
Amanda Schmalenbach, a customer service manager for Association Communications, Inc., has been named the Moraga Employee of the Month for July. Schmalenbach helps manage the company's various homeowners' association clients and is highly regarded for her superior customer service for clients.
"We never have any customer complaints when she is involved, and she goes out of her way to make sure any complaints are (resolved) promptly," says owner Caroline McCormick.
