Do you own a restaurant or business in Stanislaus County that recently opened or soon will?

Are you a resident with a question about what’s coming to your neighborhood?

Is there a lesser-known place that you love and want to see in The Modesto Bee?

The Bee’s Biz Beat reporter, Dominique Williams, covers restaurant and business openings and closings, restaurant inspections and general business news — and she wants to hear from you.

What is The Modesto Bee’s Biz Beat?

From remembering nostalgic businesses to highlighting new ones coming to the region, The Bee’s business beat — or Biz Beat — highlights all things news (and fun) in Stanislaus County’s business world.

Biz Beat answers your top-of-mind questions, like, “Why would Modesto allow another McDonald’s to be built?”

Or, “Why is In-N-Out being built in such an unusual spot? And why hasn’t construction started?”

While all types of restaurants and businesses are covered, Biz Beat especially likes to highlight Stanislaus County’s local, small businesses and the region’s unique business history.
