Also, an Embassy Suites rezoning request was approved for the "Great Wall", bad health scores restaurant on University, along with several adjoining lots behind it. No more renaming and reopening every time they get shut down by the health department.
Having an Embassy Suites will be nice. Sounds like it's going to be a smaller one though.

So what is our window to possibly lobby for a Pappasito's?
2018? Wtf I was hoping I would still be here.
Aldi is an interesting place. I think you pay a deposit for your cart. Very European.

You even have to bring your own bags to Aldi but you can not beat their prices.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Aldi location?
Pretty sure in its Bryan, they might mention at the job fair. Gut reaction says west side of town, out somewhere on 2818, maybe Leonard.
Open?

Maybe if the Aldi does well, we will have a better shot at a Trader Joe's?
I'm not saying that brand names are all that matter to me, but the Aldi where I'm from has a lot of "no name" or unknown name brands.
quote:Don't see how that's relevant. The "but it's owned by the same company" is inaccurate. Aldi split into two companies in the 1960s, Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud. Aldi Nord does more or less own Trader Joe's (TJ's being a part of a German family trust by one of the brothers who established Aldi) but the Aldi stores in the United States are owned and operated by Aldi Sud. (there should be umlauts on that, but TexAgs forum software doesn't recognize characters with accents)

quote:That is their MO, yes. Mostly their interest is low-cost cloned brand name foods and very bare bones. If you want a low-cost alternative besides Walmart or dollar stores, then Aldi is good. If you're looking for something to break up the monotony of H-E-B and Kroger, then keep waiting.

I was reading the blog from the city council meeting and it looks like it will be a decent size. They said that the planned height will be 95ft, but idk if that is really that tall
For the record, I clarified that I wasn't complaining; just making a statement of my observation.
quote:Can you give a link to this? Also, do you know where this Aldi will be located?

I have updated the front page the best I could. Let me know if I missed anything.

Hungry Howie's will be opening a second location just north of University on Texas avenue. Should open late December or early January.
I love our Aldi's.
I thought I heard the new Shipley's was opening yesterday. Guess maybe now this coming week? Looks basically ready to go, minus the inside needing a last few things
SIAP, but what's the next restaurant to replace "The Local"/TAZ/etc?
My husband talked the Shipley's on SW Pkwy yesterday. They said that the Tower Point store is ready to go except they are waiting on a few items from Shipley's corporate. It will probably be mid-September.
This is great news. We don't have nearly enough donut shops in BCS.
quote:I hope they have a drive thru and if they do, do a better job with it than they do at SW Pkwy. That drive thru is constantly backed up and it's silly that they don't take your order until you make it to the window. They'd probably be able to serve 2-3 times as many people if they had a drive thru menu system and think of the number of people who drive up, see the long line, then leave without ordering.

There is a drive thru at the new one
I was hoping it would be open this weekend
Crap

What is going on in the shopping center that A+ is in? The one on university by chimney hill
I think someone said it's going to be a clothing store.
