According to Barroga, a vacant lot this size is hard to come by. Since that time, much speculation has circulated as to what kind of business would be able to occupy the 75,000-square-foot space. The original building had sat vacant since 2009, when Mervyn’s filed for bankruptcy. Milpitas was waiting for us and we were waiting for Milpitas, ” said Kelsey Barroga, the General Manager of 24 Hour Fitness Milpitas, about the grand opening. “ I t was amazing, a lot of people, which was great to see and everyone was so excited I couldn’t believe how excited people were.
