At the old location, they had a 2 and under play area. I can't see them removing that. It would probably be interesting to a ten and under crowd.

I've been gone awhile.

Can someone tell me what happened with the Chicks convenience store? Its now a Stripes, but wasn't there a big to-do about their attempts to copy Buc-ees?

No.....You must be mistaken about that

Fletch,

After the settlement with Buckees, the owner of Chicks sold the store to Stripes. Almost all Chicks merchandise has been liquidated as the Stripes merchandise has come in. It now has a Laredo Taco Company instead of the Chicks breakfast tacos (and the ordering and acquiring of these is much more chaotic IMHO), but the Chicks burgers remain available and untouched.

And Stripes seems to have tamales that people go back for more of, so I'm trying those soon.

Stripes tamales are terrible. The only people I see buying them are Mexican oilfield workers.

A lot of the personnel that worked for Chicks has left. That may be affecting the quality. I do know that the part that makes the hamburgers is still good. That is because of Juan. A great guy that is a great chef. I just wish that Stripes would have kept the inside the way it was. They took a classy interior and made it very average.

Final update made! I'm certainly not gonna make a 2015 thread, so it's up for grabs.

Recommended that you work off the previous list, though.

From La Bodega Facebook:

From everyone at Eccell Group & the staff at La Bodega, we thank you Aggieland for your loyalty to our business (& our shakers). Come grab one last taco & shaker this Saturday & help us go out with a bang!
You would think they would change the website at bodegatacos.com sometime before three months so it doesnt appear that they are STILL open

:rolleyes:

You're blaming La Bodega for being late when you post this in the 2014 thread that hasn't had a post in maybe 2 months?

Does anyone know when Zoe's Kitchen is going in?

And is the old Prospector's space an option for Whole Foods/Sprouts/Trader Joes? That entire shopping center could use a revamp.

The only place a high end grocer enters College Station is Century Square.
