This will be the fifth store. Jimbo's Naturally (the official name) currently has four stores: Carmel Valley (also corporate headquarters, open 1992), Escondido (1997), Carlsbad (2003), and 4S Ranch (2007, They nudged their planned opening of the Horton Plaza store to Aug/Sept 2013 after originally posting "Spring 2013"on their website.

Jim "Jimbo" Someck, originally from New York, came to San Diego in the early 70s and started working for People's Food Co-op in Ocean Beach.
