Casablanca The Restaurant is not associated with Marrakesh or with Alir, Inc. It is a totally different business owned by a different corporation. It opened while Alir was looking for a new location for Marrakesh. Casablanca has been trying to create the impression that it is the same restaurant, copying our concept, referring to “Marrakech” in its advertising, and infringing on our servicemark. Our attorneys have been notified.
Please do not assist Casablanca The Restaurant in its attempts to confuse the public.
If you or anyone else at OC Weekly has any questions, I can be reached at my office by mail at 3419 Via Lido, Suite 319, Newport Beach, California 92663 or by phone at (714) 689-0738.
The Marrakesh Restaurant is NOT associated with Casa Blanca Restaurant although Casa Blanca continues to pretend that Marrakesh and Casa Blanca are one in the same. It is confusing to the public because they continue to imply that Marrakesh has something to do with Casa Blanca. They are infringing upon the name in order to promote their business and Attorneys have been notified of the infringement. Please correct this information in your next publication.
I recently tried https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/cbda-oil after the first prematurely and was pleasantly surprised past the results. Initially skeptical, I start that it significantly helped with my dread and sleep issues without any unconcealed side effects. The grease was effortless to speak, with clear dosage instructions. It had a merciful, shameless taste that was not unpleasant. Within a week, I noticed a marked increase in my overall well-being, feeling more blas‚ and rested. I appreciate the regular approach to wellness CBD offers and aim to pursue using it.
