Longtime friendships result in a successful partnership
California Dining and Barstools (formerly California Stools Bars and Dinettes) opened its first store in 1977; the result of what would become a lifetime friendship between three college friends and teammates.
Brothers Filippo and Sal Galioto emigrated from Sicily in 1967 and, soon after, met future business partner Fred Cesano on the soccer field where they all played for Cañada Junior College. Their shared passion for soccer led to a continued friendship after college and, eventually, a business partnership.
Heather Pereira joined the team in 1989. Newly engaged and looking for a rewarding career she could invest in long term, Heather jumped in with both feet and has not looked back. Over the years she became an integral part of the business and ultimately joined Filippo, Sal and Fred in the partnership.
