The plaza is positioned in a residential neighborhood, providing a steady flow of local patrons. Previous businesses have included a mix of eateries and specialty shops, such as Fatty Vegan—a plant-based restaurant known for its punk rock ambiance—and the German Deli & Market, which offered authentic German cuisine and products. Additionally, a Big Lots store was previously located next door, contributing to the area's retail offerings. The Borchard Shopping Plaza's long-standing presence and diverse tenant mix make it an attractive location for businesses seeking visibility and accessibility within the Ventura community
