SHOPS, RESTAURANTS AND RECREATION
Natural Grocers, Target, Jersey Mike’s and Texas Roadhouse are among the recruitment candidates. Independent restaurants, a full-service gym, family attractions and neighborhood services broaden the plan. Compare their proposed locations and requirements, then tell us which you would use.
Each profile explains the proposed offer, a location or search area and the next decision needed. Some begin with a paid pop-up or an existing operator’s expansion. Larger facilities need an experienced operator, substantial investment and a detailed feasibility study.
Your current habits are useful evidence. Tell us which purchases or activities take you outside the area, how often you make the trip and what you would realistically use here. Those details help identify which proposals deserve further market research.
A family attraction can bring customers to nearby restaurants. Connected storefronts make it easier to visit several shops on one trip. Upper-floor homes add regular customers downtown. The site proposals consider these relationships alongside the requirements of each individual business.

Roseburg already has substantial shopping and recreation, including Costco, WinCo, Marshalls, Ulta, Five Guys, In-N-Out, the YMCA and city parks. Independent merchants, restaurants and service businesses also serve the region. Recruitment should address documented gaps and create opportunities for current operators to expand.
The catalog therefore includes improvements to existing places and local business concepts alongside national brands. Umpqua Fun’s independently announced December 2026 opening is included in the recreation review so further proposals can account for the capacity being added.
