This location is a canteen-style restaurant and coffee house where they make all organic foods in house.

Near this curved section is a rectangle steel sign box that has a back lit plastic sign in it, and underneath is a similar rectangular box. The bigger rectangular box has a white background, but has the a light tan box with PublicUs logo in white letters in the light tan brown box. The smaller box on the bottom has the white backdrop and the tan colored rectangle has Fremont Village written in a white font.

On the same block as them is a vintage barber shop and a vintage tattoo parlor. Sign manufacturer: Main portion of the sign was around before they opened so information on the base of the sign was not found Sign - date of installation: The sign box has records of being around longer than the PublicUs has, records (Google Maps satellite view) show the sign similar to this has been up since at least 2013 Sign - date of redesign/move: Late 2015 is when their main logo was installed Sign - thematic influences: This sign shows how signs can be re-purposed or can evolve with different colors and slightly different designs over the years even though the theme of the property has changed.
