It’s Thursday, September 5. I’m Natalie Gray and here’s your local news from the Modesto Bee. 3 familiar chain restaurants have opened in 3 new Central Valley cities in the past week. Stanislaus County cities Turlock, Riverbank, and Oakdale all saw the new eateries open their doors. Just off Turlock’s Monte Vista Crossings Shopping Center, a new Farmer Boys opened Monday. Then, in Riverbank’s Crossroads Shopping Center, the new standalone Panera Bread opened Tuesday.
