San Ramon’s City Center Bishop Ranch is set to see three new additions in the near future following the recent arrivals of Meyhouse Turkish Restaurant and Jazz Club and expanded offerings from Escapology.

Waiting in the wings for their debuts in the months to come are a yearlong pop-up operation from lululemon starting next month and Oakland-based Rico Rico Taqueria and globally-sourced confectioner Lil Sweet Treat coming at unspecified dates this summer.

“The demand for best-in-class retail and dining in this market is real, and these new and upcoming openings reflect that,” said Jeff Dodd, senior vice president of retail at Sunset Development in a press release Wednesday.

“From a globally recognized athletic brand like lululemon to independent concepts like Rico Rico Taco and Lil Sweet Treat, this group strengthens what City Center offers the community, and gives people more reasons to make visiting the center part of their routine,” he continued.

Rico Rico and lululemon are both offering new takes on the predecessors that previously operated in their spaces.

The former has been teasing hungry visitors for months with a “coming soon” sign in the former C Casa Taqueria site promising a return of tacos next door to Fieldwork Brewing, with the latter providing an answer to speculation about what was coming next for the site of the recently shuttered Nike store — as well as a different take on athletic apparel.

Meanwhile, Lil Sweet Treat is likely to provide something new for everyone. While the popular candy company offers a range of familiar favorites, those selections rotate weekly “so guests are always guaranteed to be delighted,” according to Sunset Development officials.
