Updated thread. Where is the McDonald's Briarcrest going? Is it replacing the one currently in Walmart?

We are watching the West side near the new Walmart.
I understand a new Highschool is in the plans near that area. 47-Villa Maria-Jones-Leonard around the Expo Center.
It is in our 5 year plan if the area develops like we think it will.

This might be the reason Dragon One is closing.

It appears from the thread that was recently locked that Dragon One will no longer be in business.


I spoke to the owner a week ago and he did say he was closing by the end of the month.

Makes me sad.

Game Time Pizza in country store center on Wellborn. Saw the permits for alcohol posted on the door.

No self-respecting restaurant would want to be in that craphole.

I do remember that there were numerous DDs coming to town in the next "5-10 years" or something, and Brazos Co. is considered a "reserved market". So a DD in Bryan isn't unexpected (plus, they got a Starbucks in Tejas Center a decade ago).

Regardless, I moved to the "Rumor" section.

Finally, anyone have any idea what's going in the Big Lots space between Goodwill and Tractor Supply Co.? There was a tarp over the storefront.

Seems like the TSC folks told me a few months ago that they were expanding into the adjacent space.

KBTX blurb about new restaurants coming to the area (or recently arrived).

Had a meeting with the city and was told it was a done deal, along with the other businesses mentioned. They would not release any information on who was interested, but not committed to the other spaces or pad sites.

Facebook page for Game Time Pizza & Café. Will be adding it to the front page soon.

As for being next to TSC, it honestly looks like it will be a separate storefront, otherwise there wouldn't be tarps over the storefronts. If it were expanding, they'd probably renovate the interior and then rearrange the signs in front.

What about on the opposite side of 2818 and Villa Maria? I remember talk of several restaurants and a CVS or Walgreen's there.

What about the space near Freebirds and Marble Slab? Had someone ask me today.

From what I understand a CVS is still going on corner of Villa Maria and 2818, but they are waiting for all the construction on the overpass to get finished. Bryan is in serious negotiations with several retailers for the west side of town.

Any chance of a Torchy's Tacos coming to B/CS? They're already in Waco and Lubbock. I think they'd thrive here.

What?

I was going to hit up their Tuesday special tonight.
FlyRod

Just checked their Facebook page. Its true. Stated reason is to focus on the places in the mall. Facebook blurb asked to let folks know that yes, Primo is closing.

Well criminy, I hate to see a local business close.

And they made a great pie and rolls.

Damn, that sucks. I liked their Pizza (sans pesto though).

I was wondering if things were problematic when they started offering $5 large pizzas for pickup.

Sad to hear! Good luck on the other restaurants!

Sad news about Primo Pizza. However...

quote:
Thank you for being a loyal customer of Primo Pizza. We have decided to close Primo Pizza for now, in order to focus on our flagship restaurant, Flip & Peel Burgers and Fries in Post Oak Mall, as well as Salad Sculptors and Stover Cafe Express. If you previously placed an advance order with us, someone should contact you today. If you do not hear from someone today, please let us know.


...does the "for now" indicate that it may reopen in the future someday?
