DANVILLE, Calif. - Californer -- Big news is cookin' in downtown Danville: Primos, the neighborhood hangout that's been serving up good times and great food for nearly 50 years, has new owners—Jimmy and Jennifer Jhanda. Even better? They've teamed up with local restaurant powerhouse guru Wes Aziz, who will be running the show as Operating Partner.

The Jhanda family—deeply rooted in the Danville community—is stepping in with one goal: keep everything locals love about Primos, while breathing in new life where it counts. Think: the same welcoming vibe, comfort classics on the menu, plus a few fresh twists and surprises coming soon.

"Primos is legendary in Danville and has a great soul," said Jimmy Jhanda. "We're not here to change that—we're here to protect it, refresh it, and make sure it's still around for the next 50 years." Jhanda sold and exited his wildly successful tech staffing franchise 12 months ago and retired. One goal during retirement, for both him, and his wife Jennifer was to make an investment in the local Danville community and Primo's checked all the boxes. Great Food. Energized Sports. Community Feel.
