Another location also opened in Roseville last month, Becker said, also confirming that the Citrus Heights location had a ‘soft opening’ prior to Wednesday.
“It’s a huge opportunity for expansion,” Becker said, adding that he typically manages a store in Union City and was helping out two other store managers on Thursday The Citrus Heights store is the 54th Mancini’s Sleepworld to open. “We’re excited,” Becker said.
