Update: Now It's Just a Pile of Rubble

A once well-known Roseville restaurant is now a just a pile of rubble.

Construction crews on Monday finished demolishing the former Don Pablo's Mexican eatery. That move is clearing the way for Walgreens  to relocate its drugstore at 1611 County Road C W (near the Byerly's supermarket) to the Don Pablo's site, 2700 Lincoln Drive.

The Mexican eatery closed in early February. Walgreens is planning to build a 14,800 square-foot drugstore that would include a drive-through pharmacy, according to  Pat Trudgeon, Roseville city community development director.

Tuesday update

On Tuesday, Trudgeon said, "We expect to release the building permit for the construction of the new Walgreens store sometime in April (it is going through final City review). 

"I would expect that the construction of the new store would start sometime in late April," Trudgeon said.
