Jack’s Urban Eats is coming to The Marketplace in North Davis, hopefully by early spring, part owner Bobby Coyote confirms.
The California-themed eatery has locations in Midtown, Folsom, Natomas, Roseville and Sacramento International Airport. The concept is similar to Pluto’s but with a more varied menu that features sandwiches, salads, carved meats, chicken strips and fries.
The Davis restaurant will take part of the former Blockbuster video space in The Marketplace. Leslie’s Pool Supplies fills the remaining space. Coyote, owner of Dos Coyotes, said there are plans for an outdoor patio as well. For information on the chain, visit http://jacksurbaneats.com.

Two new stores share one space at 222 D St., Suite 9A: Bohème and Paulina’s. Bohème is a consignment store that sells “hip, used clothing.” Paulina’s sells “California casual clothing.” They opened Friday.
Dawn Donahue owns Bohème, and Paulina Jacobs-Sanders owns Paulina’s. Both women are Davis residents. The stores are next to Cloud Forest Café and The Mustard Seed, in Renew Denim’s old spot. The jeans store turned into a mobile boutique (think food truck).
Paulina’s features bathing suits — year-round — from brands like Sunsets (with custom size ranges), Luli Fama, Quintsoul, B.Swim and Vix. Boutique clothing lines will rotate with the seasons, Jacobs-Sanders said.
“I carry skirts, pants, dresses, blouses, jewelry and — in the near future — jeans and sweaters. I will also have a very good selection of holiday clothes.”
Donahue’s Bohème sells “gently worn women’s clothing at affordable prices. … Tanks, T-shirts, skirts, shorts, jeans, coats, dresses, purses (and) shoes.”
Brands include Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Gap, Guess, J.Crew, Inc., Lei, Levi’s, Loft, Lucky Brand, Rampage, Roxy, Tommy Hilfiger and True Religion. Customers may bring in their clean, gently used clothing for store credit.
Hours for the two-in-one store are 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Pure Beauty in The Marketplace will change hands and names as of Wednesday.
Davis resident Danielle Crane will take over the beauty supply store, but keep much of the inventory and (she hopes) all of the staff. The new store’s name is Sassafras Beauty.
It will close Monday and Tuesday to prep for Wednesday’s opening.
Crane, who has been an outside sales representative for beauty supply lines for many years, is excited about her plans.
“I really want the women in Davis not to have to drive to the Nordstrom makeup counter to get a makeover,” she said.
She’s also lined up an exclusive deal to sell bareMinerals makeup. She plans a grand opening in September to launch that product.
