The Albuquerque Journal this past week also had a story about New Mexico possibly surpassing North Dakota this year to become the second-largest oil-producing state in the country, behind only Texas. New Mexico's oil production has been booming the past few years and it is currently the third-largest oil-producing state.

The state is also moving up the ranks of renewable energy production, with huge solar and wind energy projects underway across the state. A huge $430 million solar array will be built just west of Albuquerque after the Bernalillo County Commission passed IRBs for the project at its meeting this past week.

Another new chain of coffee shops will be coming to Albuquerque. Albuquerque Business First reported this past week that Ziggi's Coffee will open its first location next week, and that at least two more locations are planned.

A local Ziggi's Coffee franchisee hopes to make an initial splash when it brews up for the first time in Albuquerque next Tuesday.
Sergio Bermudez has plans for three initial locations of the Longmont, Colorado coffee chain: 6000 Montgomery Blvd., 5200 Menaul Blvd. NE and a future location to be determined. But the first location at 6000 Montgomery Blvd. NE — which features a patio, indoor cafe and a drive-thru — will provide Bermudez and Ziggi's with a barometer of success in Albuquerque.
As an example of what he hopes to deliver, Bermudez brought up in an interview with Business First on Tuesday the recent arrival of Oregon-based Dutch Bros. Coffee and the buzz it has created. Dutch Bros. has plans for its third Albuquerque location north of Cottonwood Mall, which is its sixth known location in the Land of Enchantment, Business First reported in February.

Albuquerque Business First this past week also reported that the local Italian restaurant chain M'tucci's will open a fourth location by the end of the year in Nob Hill at the former Kelly's Brew Pub location in the historic Jones Motor Company building.

Quote:
Come December, M'tucci's Restaurants hopes it's serving customers for the first time in Nob Hill.
John Haas, managing partner of M'tucci's, confirmed to Business First on Wednesday that M'tucci's Bar Roma will occupy the former Kelly's Brew Pub at 3222 Central Ave. SE.
This will be M'tucci's fourth restaurant, joining M'tucci's Italian on the Westside, M'tucci's Moderno in Rio Rancho and M'tucci's Twenty-Five, which opened in early 2020 on Albuquerque's "restaurant row" off Interstate 25.
M'tucci's Bar Roma will differ a bit from the first three. It will place more emphasis on its beverage and bar options and offer two charcuterie stations — one in the dining room and one on the patio. The name is a nod to the ambience, which Haas describes as how a customer would experience dining in Rome.
