Two businesses have begun the process of moving in to Campustown within the past few weeks.

Crews started construction on Fighting Burrito’s new home, 117 Welch Ave., previously a smoothie and ice cream shop, last week.

Additionally, construction is underway on the new Mexican restaurant El Patron, right across the street at 118 Welch Ave., which previously hosted the popular bar Es Tas.

Matthew Goodman, owner of Fighting Burrito, currently located at 2712 Lincoln Way, said he hopes to have the new space up and running by mid to late summer.

El Patron’s owners were unable to be reached for comment.

Goodman’s construction teams have begun by gutting the interior of the building.

With big changes looming in Campustown’s future, businesses have not been deterred from making their mark on the district.

“The closer we are to the [Welch Avenue] district, the more business we’ll have,” Goodman said.
