Disney Adds Six Local Shops and Restaurants to Cotino Bay Waterfront

The new tenants deepen Cotino’s Coachella Valley–focused dining and retail mix and underscore a phased opening of the Storyliving waterfront district next spring.

Overview

  • Storyliving by Disney announced six new tenants for Cotino Bay Beach, Dining, and Shops: Asada Cantina + Kitchen, Mojave Flea Trading Post, SottoSopra, Big Juice, It Refills, and La Dolce Piccola Gelateria.
  • The project is opening in stages, with the restaurant Elevare among early arrivals planned for fall 2026 and the broader waterfront district scheduled to open next spring.
  • The new roster mixes local and regional operators, experiential retail and sustainability-focused concepts to reflect Coachella Valley character and draw both residents and visitors.
  • Cotino was master planned by Disney and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, and Disney cast members will operate parts of the community’s public spaces and services.
  • Developers say more commercial partners will be revealed in the coming months as Cotino adds events, markets and a hotel in later phases to activate the waterfront town center.
