Foothill Plaza — Local services in Fontana

Foothill Plaza is like a box of assorted chocolates where half the chocolates have mysteriously gone missing, and the rest are an odd mix of flavors you didn’t know existed. This shopping plaza, nestled at the base of a picturesque hill, promises much but delivers… well, something, at least.

Upon entering, you're greeted by the faint aroma of burnt popcorn from the perpetually malfunctioning movie theater. The parking lot is a surreal game of dodge-the-pothole, which might be entertaining if you were driving a monster truck. Once you've managed to park, you embark on an adventure through a labyrinth of stores that seem to have been randomly selected by a blindfolded committee.

First stop: "Trinket Trove," where the merchandise ranges from faux antique clocks to mysterious gadgets that look like they belong in a sci-fi movie. The staff here are friendly but have a habit of vanishing just when you need assistance, as if playing an elaborate game of hide-and-seek.

Next, there's "Fashion Frenzy," where the mannequins are dressed better than most of the clothes on the racks. The selection is a peculiar mix of last season’s trends and bizarre fashion experiments. The fitting rooms are more like fitting closets, and the mirrors have a funhouse quality that leaves you questioning your self-image.

"Taco Tower" serves something that could generously be called Mexican-inspired, while "Sushi Supreme" offers rolls that make you wonder if fish is actually involved. The seating area is a minefield of sticky tables and rogue napkins that have taken up permanent residence.

Overall, Foothill Plaza is an experience, to put it kindly. It’s got charm, in the way a well-worn couch does—comfortable but with a lot of questionable stains. Two stars for the accidental entertainment value and the hilariously mismatched offerings. If you’re in the mood for a shopping trip that feels like a sitcom, this...

Foothill Plaza is so so. I only go occasionally because it is close when I need something in a hurry at Walmart. It's very run down and in need of upgrades or better tenets and better security especially at night. There are many homeless living here on a regular basis in vehicles and even selling junk from them. I much prefer the Walmart on Riverside Dr in Rialto for a nice day of...

I grew up a vons customer and discovered El supper when moving to Fontana. The produce deals are amazing. The meat counter is not very approachable as there is a language barrier. Store is well stocked and clean. The staff have always been helpful when I asked for help. I would recommend checking...
