For nearly 10 years, Orlando’s Market and Deli has been serving the Downtown Stockton community with fresh deli items, snacks, and everyday essentials. The name comes from the owner’s family name, Orlando, which has been recognized in the area for over 50 years through their family-run convenience stores. Wanting to continue the tradition in a new way, Dante Orlando opened Orlando’s Market and Deli in the heart of downtown, providing locals with quality food and a welcoming atmosphere.

When it comes to food, Orlando’s Market offers a variety of popular deli items, including the turkey bacon avocado sandwich, hot link sandwich, and grilled chicken salad. Patrons can tailor their deli sandwich orders to their unique preferences – just choose your bread, meat, cheese, and condiments! The market also sells an assortment of movie snacks, medicine, lotto tickets, and even trading cards. Plus, they take customer recommendations based on the needs of the downtown community. During my visit, I tried the grilled chicken sandwich and customized it to my taste. The freshly grilled chicken, crisp veggies, and perfectly toasted bread made for a satisfying meal—simple, yet full of flavor. On top of that, Orlando’s Deli also offers catering services for events, office meetings, and gatherings, making it a convenient option for both quick bites and larger occasions.

Dante chose Downtown Stockton for his business because of its vibrant community and central location. With many government offices, businesses, and apartment complexes nearby, the deli has become a hub where people stop by daily. What Dante loves most is the sense of connection—getting to know regular customers and being part of the downtown atmosphere. When I visited, I could see this firsthand—Dante greeted customers with a friendly smile and chatted with them as they placed their orders, making the market feel more like a community space than just a shop.

“Orlando’s market has something for everybody. Whether it’s a nice meal, a snack, beverage, or even a quick conversation. We plan to be a staple in the downtown area for years to come.”

  • Businesses: Fo3 Activewear and Yazie Curl’s for Girls
  • Location: 522 E. Weber Avenue, CA, 95202
  • Instagram: @fo3_urban_activewear

The Fo3 Urban Activewear brand is coming to downtown Stockton! It’s a positive Stockton brand that believes in you, with a slogan that represents the mindset of champions—”Not Afraid to Lose, Not Afraid to Win.” The owner, Kimberly Ganner, stated how she wanted to bring athletic clothing to South and South-Central Stockton because the current athletic stores are all up north.

The Fo3 store in downtown will have athletic clothing, accessories, and equipment such as mouthpieces, football cleats, soccer cleats, and much more. This brand has a deeper meaning, made to carry on the impactful legacy of Treyvon “Fo3” Breckenridge, a local star athlete and entrepreneur who inspired our community with his commitment to basketball, football, and his trash can cleaning services.

Treyvon wasn’t just any kid—since he was young, he was always looked at as an inspirational athlete and leader with a magnetic personality. Trey had a strong connection to sports and the mindset of a champion that uplifted those around him to lead with the zero losses mindset, which is also a slogan used by the brand. His nickname, Fo3, was given to him by his coach, Aaron Edmond, because Trey became known for being an outstanding all-around athlete in every position on the basketball court. More specifically, he gained this nickname for making successful half-court shots—so successful, in fact, that the audience would chant Trey for 3, which turned into Fo3.

Trey became the face of the AAU League Lions Truth basketball team. He also became a notable football player, playing as a quarterback and point guard for the Edison football team. Everyone wanted to play with Trey because he wasn’t just a team player on the court or field—he was a team player in everyday life.

Unfortunately, in September 2020, at just 17 years old, Treyvon Breckenridge tragically passed away as a passenger in a car accident that was out of his control in Tracy, CA. Trey’s mother, Kimberly Ganner, created this brand to honor the powerful legacy he left behind while spreading the positive mindset he had. In fact, the slogan “Not Afraid to Lose” originated from a rap song Trey wrote, where he wrote, “Knowing I can die any day, I’m not afraid to lose.”

Now, Trey’s mother, Kimberly Ganner, is continuing her son’s influential legacy through the Fo3 Urban Activewear brand. Beyond that, she also wrote a book titled Not Afraid to Lose, Not Afraid to Live. In this book, she shares how losing Trey affected her physically, mentally, and emotionally. Additionally, a documentary has been created to bring awareness to safe driving and showcase Trey’s passion for life and perseverance.

Kimberly plans to hold a book signing at a later event, but in the meantime, the grand opening of the new Fo3 Urban Activewear store in Downtown Stockton took place last week alongside the opening of Yazie Curls for Girls beauty business, which was launched by Kimberly’s 8-year-old daughter. At the ribbon cutting, The Greater Stockton Chamber shared that Yazie is the youngest business owner for which they have ever held a ribbon cutting!

Kimberly has faced unimaginable grief—losing her son Trey and then, just 15 months later, losing her husband in another car accident. Along with her nine boys and one girl, who look up to Trey’s actions, she has chosen to transform her pain into purpose by building a meaningful brand to keep his legacy alive.

“Trey didn’t believe in division. Instead, he believed in unity. With everyone he came across, he always found the good in them, and that’s what made him so inspirational.”

— Kimberly Ganner

Every year since Trey’s passing, Kimberly has organized a community event called the Trey Day Community Movement Event—a gathering dedicated to bringing together people from all walks of life to spread unity and promote the Drive Safe movement; this day brings the community together to honor Treyvon’s memory and keep his legacy alive. Although the next event is still being planned, it is expected to take place in October. The event will offer community resources to showcase the greatness within Stockton and feature different sports teams and drills. As Kimberly puts it, “Unity is sports, and sports is unity.”

“Trey was rebirthed through the Fo3 Urban Activewear clothing brand, a brand that believes in you because Trey believed in everyone.”

— Kimberly Ganner

This brand is more than just fashion—it’s a movement that inspires people to live with the strength to never give up. That’s what makes Kimberly Not Afraid to Lose.

You can support these two local businesses at 522 E. Weber Avenue, Stockton, CA, 95202!

P.S. Check out Kimberly Ganner’s Safe Driving Tips (Fo3 Mode Saves Lives on the Road)

  • Wear your seatbelt.
  • Follow the speed limit.
  • Don’t use your phone while driving.
  • Obey traffic laws.
  • Know the driver who has your life in their hands.

Nestled at 13 S. San Joaquin Street in Downtown Stockton, Cooper’s Coffee (formerly called Red’s 13) is a small and cozy café that has been a daily favorite for locals for nearly 30 years. The café’s name comes from the owner’s grandfather, and the interior shows her family’s love and warmth. In this welcoming atmosphere, customers can enjoy not only exceptional coffee but also the friendly charm of the owner, Belinda. It’s no surprise that Cooper’s Coffee has so many loyal regulars who describe it as a place full of character—a home away from home.

When it comes to the menu, there’s something for everyone, but the most popular item is the Cubano. This drink combines two shots of espresso, raw sugar, cinnamon, and steamed half-and-half, making a creamy and rich flavor that isn’t too sweet—perfect for those who love smooth coffee without too much sugar. Another standout is their cold brew coffee, made with a unique cold brew machine. The difference is noticeable, and fans of cold brew will definitely be able to tell how smooth and refreshing it tastes.

For non-coffee drinkers, Cooper’s Coffee offers other great options, such as Chai tea, which provides mild caffeine, but isn’t as strong as coffee. They also feature seasonal specialties, like peppermint mocha and gingerbread latte during the winter months. I can’t wait to see what exciting flavors will be introduced next season!

Located just across from Courthouse Plaza in Downtown Stockton, Belinda loves running her business in this area. Downtown is home to a diverse mix of workers, residents, and students, and she enjoys staying busy while being part of this dynamic community. Through her café, she not only serves amazing coffee but also spreads kindness and energy to her customers.

It’s this welcoming vibe and dedication to the community that keep regulars coming back to Cooper’s Coffee time and time again. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, a visit to Cooper’s Coffee is sure to leave you feeling uplifted and ready for the day ahead.

Downtown Stockton has welcomed a new coffee gem: Culebra Coffee, located at 110 N. San Joaquin Street – at the corner of Weber and San Joaquin. This café is more than just a place to grab your daily coffee—it’s a blend of culture, passion, and community.

What Makes It Special?

With over eight years of experience in the coffee industry, the owner I.J. has dedicated his career to mastering every aspect of coffee—barista skills, roasting, and even packing coffee for celebrities. You can see this expertise in every cup served at Culebra Coffee. Using freshly roasted, high-quality beans from Moschetti Coffee, this café offers an exceptional coffee experience that reflects I.J.’s passion.

From Popup to Permanent

Culebra Coffee’s journey began as a popup at the Stockton Farmers’ Market in April 2024. Thanks to a collaboration with Huddle CoWork, the café found a permanent home in Downtown Stockton. This transition marks a significant milestone for I.J. and his mission to serve top-quality coffee to the community.

Must-Try: The Churro Latte and more

First-time visitors should try Culebra Coffee’s signature “Churro Latte”. It strikes the perfect balance between cinnamon sweetness and coffee bitterness! They have quite a few unique and original drinks. I tried “The Bite,” one of their special coffees – it was coffee with vanilla cream. I found it better than a similar coffee from a large coffee chain.

Downtown Stockton: A Perfect Fit

Why Stockton? For I.J., the decision was simple. As a native of the 209 area, he felt a strong desire to give back to his community. After spending time in the Bay Area for school and work, he returned to the Valley, recognizing its potential to become a coffee hub. His dream is to elevate Stockton’s coffee culture, attracting people from neighboring cities like Modesto, Sacramento, and Tracy.

Dreams for the Future

In the short term, I.J. plans to expand the menu with breakfast burritos, pastries, and innovative drinks. Long term, he hopes to host latte art competitions, coffee parties with DJs, and more events to foster a thriving coffee community in Stockton.

Visit Culebra Coffee and experience a cup of coffee with heart and culture. They have so many dreams and ambitions for the next year. So keep an eye on Culebra Coffee and follow them on Instagram for updates and upcoming events!

In addition, Makers Made sells a variety of plants that will give life to your space.

Central to Makers Made’s ethos is sustainability. Products there are not just made; they’re made responsibly. Many of the artisans prioritize eco-friendly methods and materials. With an emphasis on reducing waste and promoting sustainability, they bring to the table a range of products for the eco-minded shopper. In addition to amazing products, all new customers who shop in the store get a $5 coupon.

Makers Made owner Rochelle Brown stated the following: “We’ve expanded the amount of vendors we feature. We’re also located in a family-friendly environment [Courthouse Plaza]. You can go to the arcade, play games, eat, and shop in this space.”

Rochelle also stated that 20% of Makers Made sales go to the Parents by Choice Foster Youth Foundation and that Makers Made does Instagram live sales every Wednesday from 6 PM – 8 PM.

Furthermore, Makers Made fosters a sense of connection between the makers and the consumers. The direct discourse that can occur between the creator and the consumer – discussing the process, the inspiration, or even potential customization, instills an intimate dynamic that is far removed from the typical retail experience.

Regular events, workshops, and pop-up shops at Makers Made offer an exciting avenue for community engagement too. Through these activities, it introduces people to the rich network of talent within the city. The next time you find yourself in Downtown Stockton, make a point to explore Makers Made. Find a unique gift, meet an artist, take part in a workshop, or simply immerse yourself in buzzing creativity.
