Juice It Up on Rock Prairie Road is going out of business. Last day of business is Friday, December 9. All smoothies (and maybe juices?) are 50% off till then.
I really liked that place, but College Station doesn't have the adventurous clientele like California (where corporate offices are located). They didn't have a chance.

I think location played a part, too. I don't know that they would have thrived elsewhere, but they could have survived longer in another place.
Agreed. Maybe Northgate or Restaurant Row.Average Joe said:

One of my go to places to have subs delivered when at work.AggiePhil said:

Try the chipotle chicken cheese steak!

What were their hours? I'm not sure I ever drove by on a weekday and saw them open.
I agree and the construction on Rock Prairie didn't help either.Average Joe said:

I have no idea. I don't think I ever saw them open. If it wasn't for Subway and Papa Johns I'm not sure that area would have any traffic. Must Be Heaven has very short hours, as well.
Might have been a franchise issue. Meanwhile, Northgate Juice Joint, which at the time it opened I didn't expect to last a semester seems to be alive and well after nearly two years.gunan01 said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
That Northgate Juice Joint is always dead. It's remarkable the doors are still open.
It's not always dead; does a good business in the mornings.

Well that's good. I never see it in the mornings.
Have we talked about what is going in on Texas next to Aggieland cycling?
It looks too big to be a nail salon.

New Domino's + local franchise office
I was getting concerned we didn't have enough Domino's. This is welcome news.

Near 2818?
There's a Domino's .7 miles from there.
I think they are closing the lease space location to move to the new place long term. Also sounds like they want to add some new locations scattered around, thus the office space.

Correct. This does seem like they want to redistribute their stores, hence a new store in Tower Point as well.
Kung Fu Tea is opening next to Best Buy.
Sign up for Time for Thai restaurant in shopping center where La Riviera is.
Isn't that the same shopping center where the last Thai restaurant failed? Bold!
Yep. La Riviera and Babylon Cafe seem to be doing ok there, so who knows. This place appears to be part of a chain, or chain-let.
Not a "true" opening but it looks like Krispy Krunchy fried chicken has once again returned to town with the gas station at Holleman and Wellborn advertising it.
Yeah, I know, fried chicken, but it's something interesting.

I heard the Jersey Mike's franchisee owner in Temple is planning to build one in CS.
#42 and #43 are great sandwiches!

That's been the rumor for quite some time now. Glad to hear it's finally going to happen.
Not knocking Jersey Mike's, but we're going to have as many sub shops as chicken finger joints before much longer...
You'd almost think 60,000 college kids were in the market.
Hadn't heard anything about the possible return of Grandandy's lately. Anyone??

The Gumby's sign is already up at that location. It's been open for a few weeks now.
I think he's probably referring to the new Grandandy's concept mentioned a while back.
Thanks for that. So, anyone heard anything about the possible return of Grandandy's?jac4 said:Prescient said:

From what I've heard second-hand, the owner does indeed want to try again with a new location and new name. I had heard what the name was (I think it was some sort of pun on an Aggie tradition), but I forgot what it was.Prescient said:Thanks for that.

What's being built on Birmingham in College Station next to Texas ENT?
