Would that be related to the place at Texas and MLK?

Pouring the slab at the Best Western in Towerpoint this morning.
Luby's is closing, confirmed.

quote:
The letter was provided to KBTX by an employee who asked to remain anonymous, but who said the company indicated to employees that Luby's was exploring options to open a new location in the area in the next year or two.
quote:
The employee said company officials indicated the location of the current Luby's was not conducive for business given growth in other parts of the city.
I guess that kills the rumor that it was going to become another Pappas brand.
Location had nothing to do with their demise. Fritella's is on that part of town, and every time I am there it's packed. Sodolaks on 21 is off the beaten path, and there is always a 30 minute to 45 minute wait for a table. Koppe at Harvey is off the beaten path, and it's always busy.

Can't count the number of meals I've eaten at that Luby's. Always went there with my grandmother whenever we came to Bryan to see her.
"Morons. I've got morons on my team."

The employee also said the Luby's crew was told by the company that the current property had been sold, but the new owners were not revealed to them.
Well, there's the thing about it being sold again--I'd be surprised if it was Café Eccell (or an Eccell Group anything).
It's possible that it won't be a restaurant at all--perhaps even one to build a small mid-rise. Maybe. It could happen.
You might be right. I have seen in Houston, big hotels go up on that amount of land. Of course all of the parking is built into the hotel. If that is such a bad location, the hotel being built in the area is a huge mistake. I don't think so!! This location is very close to TAMU and Kyle Field.

Lubys is a really pretty lot. The trees are pretty there. Any restaurant could have nice view out there or courtyard.
Yay!! I asked a few pages back about the second Bahama bucks and I see it's made the coming soon list!
How is it not prime location with all the expansion and new development mere blocks away... Just face it Luby's is a thing of the past...

I agree with you 100%!!!! It is probably one of the best locations in Brazos County. It is close to TAMU and University Drive. If it is so bad then the apartments going up are destined to fail with that reasoning.
Is the Luby's lot in Bryan or College Station city limits?
The Luby's is in Bryan. Bryan city limits ends after that first hotel thats on the same side as Luby's going towards University. On the other side of the street from Luby's where the statue of the little boy and girl and the wall that says Bryan - College Station, I think that is college Station. Sometimes its hard to tell where Bryan begins and College Station ends because of those population/city limits signs.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Im predicting hotel in that Lubys spot. Sucks that we are losing Lubys but I bet we get a new/nicer smaller one.
I never put the "College Station Hall of Fame" (the Texas Hall of Fame "inspired" dance hall) on the list as I haven't heard anything about in a better part of a year.
May not ever happen. Too many people don't want it near them. However, you never know.....
The new shopping center on west Villa Maria is now called "Rudder's Landing".
The Luby's will be Café Eccell sometime around August. Mark my words 
aggmaroon, a lot of people more or less said I was crazy when I said that several weeks ago. If that does happen, they will have to eat crow along with humble pie as dessert when CE reopens.
No disrespect, but why is everything here named after James Earl Rudder and Harvey Mitchell?
Is '06 your class year?
I really don't even know who Harvey Mitchell was, and I grew up here.
Were it not for James Earl Rudder, this community would not be what it is today. It boils down to two terms: coeds and non-regs. He made both possible.
As for Harvey Mitchell, here you go: http://www.texascenterforregionalstudies.com/harvey-mitchell--father-of-brazos-county-and-texas-am.html

I think aggmaroon is on to something....

Seriously? May as well ask why DC is named after Washington.
One other thing: I can't speak for Mr. Mitchell, but Gen. Rudder proves a visionary is rarely appreciated in his time. While she was still alive, Margaret Rudder spoke to a class I attended at A&M and shared that Gen. Rudder received death threats after making The A&M College of Texas coeducational.
I realize change is a four-letter word for many people, but how sad is that?

I know where you're coming from, TA, but the poster did say "no disrespect". To me, it shows an interest in the historical background of this community. We need more people like that.
