Fremont won’t be getting a second Trader Joe’s anytime soon,  but Applebee’s is another matter. The all-American chain restaurant opened a second Fremont eatery Friday in Pacific Commons. Mayor Wasserman even mentioned it in his State of the City address Monday.

For those keeping score, Fremont now has double the number of Applebee’s as Newark and Union City, although Newark has the most Applebee’s booths per resident.
