Wow, the list seems fairly long as I type out each business one by one. My apologies, if I forgot to list any of the businesses!
The Village is a great place to stop for those who want a variety of options available to them. Lots of outdoor seating is available for paying and non-​paying customers. Although parking can be a tad hectic during lunch and dinner, you will almost always find a spot way out in the boonies.

The Village, what we Mustangs compared to as the Grove in LA.
Just kidding, just kidding.
The Village is the nearest place closest to WHS and wells, it has a ton of places to eat. I remember seeing a lot of people walking on Valley Blvd on late start days clutching Starbucks and Robeks (now Nature’s Juice). McDonald’s and Chick Fil a also benefited as well. On minimum days, you could see people going to Chipotle or Subway to get their cravings. I myself was dependent on Subway during summer school. And most importantly? In-​n-​out
There are stores here too, like Staples, Michaels, Kohl’s (in that dark corner by itself), TJ Maxx. I did have fun once. I had to go through all 4 corners of the Village. Criss cross, across, criss cross, across. From In-​n-​Out to Staples to McDonalds and then CVS back to the In-​n-​Out parking lot. That, myself, is a pain in the butt. Too bad it’s not set up like the Chino Spectrum to have a signal and the 4 way stop. Tis a shame.

This review is particularly special to me because it’s my first review
that I’m writing with my new Unilocal Elite ’12 badge!
With that said, all my reviews are honest and true to my experience and feelings.
I pass by the village almost everyday, and it seems to accommodate many needs in one area.

They have it all. So if you’re ever having trouble deciding on what to eat as a group, just come here and everyone will be satisfied.

This was the go-​to place as a starving CPP student. The many choices! So if one person didn’t agree on food choice, they could venture out and join forces later with their takeout and enjoy «family» dinner out on the patio seats. :)

Only issue is the parking lot, a lot of crazy drivers mixed with bad drivers that can’t park will piss you off now and then.
