Paso Robles seeks resident input on future retail, dining options

By Staff Report · Tue Aug 11 2026

PASO ROBLES — The City of Paso Robles is asking residents to weigh in on what types of shopping, dining and retail options they would like to see in the community through a new Paso Robles Retail Needs Survey.

The online survey is part of a broader three-part effort to better understand the city’s business environment and identify potential retail opportunities. The City first completed a market analysis comparing Paso Robles’ retail offerings with those of similar communities. Resident feedback is the second phase, followed by a survey of local business owners later this year.

The information gathered will help the City identify potential opportunities, support existing businesses and guide future business attraction and expansion efforts.

The survey is open through Aug. 22 and is available at prcity.com/retailsurvey. Residents are encouraged to participate and share the survey with other Paso Robles residents.
