  They hope to open the doors there by early November to serve lunch and dinner.

  Ruben Fontanes, the Realtor representing Gene's Restaurant, said that restaurant is making plans to relocate to Yuma Palms Regional Center.

  Aw stressed that the 4th Avenue restaurant will be a second location and that the original Highway 95, 2585 E. 16th St., will remain open. The second location provides an opportunity to expand the business and menu they have been researching in New York and Asia, he said.
