We believe in Downtown El Cajon
 El Cajon CDC is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit community development corporation that was established in 1996 through a grassroots effort by local government, business owners, and residents. El Cajon CDC takes part in, and proactively works toward the many revitalization efforts in Downtown El Cajon. These strategies include the Downtown El Cajon Specific Plan 182 which provides developers with recommendations for land uses and development standards that encourage mixed-use development. The El Cajon CDC Design Review Commission, assigned by City of El Cajon, reviews and approves all renovation and new construction projects to ensure that pedestrians find a safe, clean and inviting atmosphere in Downtown El Cajon. Our corporation also proactively encourages the redevelopment of Brownfield sites. All our development efforts incorporate feedback from local residents and businesses gained through community surveys, forums, committees, and partnerships with other community agencies.

Featured Business of the Month : Quiznos
By El Cajon CDC Board Member Nancy J. Lewis
 Danny Malhotra has been at the Quiznos at 124 West Main Street since it opened in 2003, first as store manager and, more recently, as owner. He and his staff work hard to see that their customers get both great food and great service at the only toasted sandwich shop in Downtown El Cajon.
Enjoy their wide selection of freshly-prepared sandwiches, soups, and salads, either indoors or outdoors, or take advantage of their take-out and delivery services. Sub sandwich choices include their Signature Classics, as well as Premium Steak, Inspired Turkey, Delectable Chicken and Deli Favorites. You can also choose from 6 Flatbread Sammies ($1.99), 6 Foot-longs ($5.49), and 13”-long Torpedoes ($4). Want soup or salad? Quiznos has them too! Hot chicken or broccoli cheese soup and chili are always available, and there are 5 different Flatbread Chopped Salads (ingredients are chopped and layered together on toasted flatbread with dressing on the side). Quiznos also offers a catering service. They can provide food for a business meeting or a party, large or small.
Danny likes Downtown El Cajon, and he and his family (wife, Taruna, son Shivam and daughter, Shivangi) are El Cajon residents. Danny’s favorite part of the business is meeting the people and providing his customers with topnotch service and food. He particularly likes the El Cajon Community Development Corporation for the events they put on, such as the Cajon Classic Cruise and Concerts on the Green, as attendees patronize the local businesses. He praised the staff for being “helpful and cooperative,” and appreciates being invited to participate in the events and marketing opportunities they offer. “The Ambassadors are helpful, and quick to respond when called,” he said.
Quiznos is located at 124 West Main Street. They are open Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 9:00 pm, and Saturday - Sunday 9:00 am - 8:00 pm. For information or to place an order, call (619) 440-6512, or send a FAX to (619) 440-6528. You can also view their menu or place an order online at www.quiznos.com. If you stop in during the month of June and mention this article and where you saw it, you will receive free chips and a medium drink with the purchase of any combo.
