Maybe. They did open a second location today officially, but in San Marcos.


Another successful franchise from BCS.

I realize it's semantics but, if it's the same owners, it is a chain, not a franchise.

Also, T&P to the FTR. May God mercy on your soul.

Congratulations. You have now earned the wrath of the Almighty "Yelp King of Aggieland." As Fonzie says, may God have mercy on your soul.

It appears We Rent It has opened their new location on 2818, N or the new Villa Maria overpass/ corner of Turkey Creek. I haven't noticed if the Texas Ave location has closed or if they've left it as a smaller second location.

While trying to find a menu for Black Sheep Pizza, I stumbled across a post on Gumby's Pizza website, saying that they own Black Sheep.

"Gumby's is NOW HIRING FOR ALL POSITIONS. We need outgoing people for counter help ,pizza cooks, prep cooks and delivery drivers so don't be shy!

We are also hiring for our new store off Wellborn Rd. called The Black Sheep Pizza Co. and our Northgate food truck Vittles .

Please stop by 107 Dominik Drive at our Gumby's Pizza Location and ask for an application if interested. Hours vary, Full and Part time positions available , no experience necessary . Experienced pizza cooks and delivery drivers please ask for Steven Tuesday through Thursday 6pm to 11pm."

Anyways, Black Sheep Pizza Co. is having to change their name, as there's already a Black Sheep Pizza up north and they've issued a cease & desist to the local pizzeria of the same name. So, when the name changes, don't panic. It's not another failed business (just a failed naming).

Maybe they should rename it to "Gumby's".

"Maybe they should rename it to "Gumby's".

I know Gumby's is a franchise; maybe Black Sheep is just owned by the same folks but not part of the franchise?

Noticed an "Opening Soon" sign in front of the old Outlaw Jacks/Country Cafe this morning....

According to Yelp (take that for what its worth) a Smashburger is opening today on Houston Street. I'm skeptical, but figured I'd let people know.

Smashburger's website does show a location coming to "Compass-Texas A&M (College, TX)" in September, 2014.

There is a sign up for the Mooyah burgers at the old McDonolds location on Fitch.

I still think a Shipleys should have gone there.

I can confirm the Smashburger on campus. my upstairs neighbor is the manager of it and told me about it a few weeks ago.

Y'all are in for a treat. I discovered Mooyah shortly after moving to DFW this summer. They. Are. Awesome.

The sign on the former Country Cafe / Junek's BBQ indicates that the new establishment will be called the "Maroon Saloon" and they are applying for a beer license with late hours.

I have a Smashburger in my aparttment complex here in Kuwait. It's fantastic. Try the smash fries. The only thing that sucks about the one here is "beef bacon". Looking forward to coming back to CS and having one at home.

The Yelp review jumped the gun and came back and said Smashburger won't open until October...sorry folks.

Looks like P&Z will consider rezoning for the new Stripes at Fitch & Wellborn on Oct. 2 and bring their recommendation to the council on Oct. 20.

They started building at the former Las Lomas/Fajita Rita's site a while back...didn't someone say it was a bank? If I could get the name, I could add it to the list, which hasn't been updated for a while (gotta get new stuff, will likely be updated when the next CS New Development list comes in)

This is a comment on the new flag outside Aggieland Outfitters on University:

Wow.

There is 'Aggie pride' and then there's 'holy s**t, that's a monstrous flag!!!'

Hm. They're already at 6 & OSR. Are you sure they're moving? If so, I guess that would be a better, more visible, location.

Drove by there today and it was completely abandoned. Looks like the little that was still there was being used for cleaning up the debris left behind from the move.

Sign up at space on Church St. where Burger Boy, Daily Ruckus, Soho, etc. was saying "Coming soon: Rough Branch whiskey bar."
