Another piece of property that Pappas owns?! I thought these were restaurant people, not property people.

When is Pappadeaux going to start building? Any updates?
They are one in the same.. These guys build their balance sheets through properties. I saw something the other day that was a surprise to me that you might find interesting. The Mcdonalds corporation is one of the largest real-estate holding companies in the world and have used the fast food biz to develop their real estate portfolio.
Whataburger has the same strategy. Those companies are as much real estate companies as they are fast food companies.


HEB does the same thing. They buy several locations and only build on a couple. They sell of the others to pay for the ones they do actually build

I did not see the College Station location listed for Dicky's closing? Maybe they are on vacation?

UmustBSmart Most of your info is correct except the dome cannot be a commercial fitness center for five years. There has already been interest for other uses. It would have been a great trampoline park; too bad there will soon be three in BCS. It will be a great building for the next tenant. Stay tuned.
Btw the equipment is being auctioned online starting soon and live 6/24. npsolutions.com
Any idea when the catalog of items will be online? NP said the 10th but it is not listed on their site.

I haven't seen this mentioned lately. Looks like Academy will open in just under two weeks, if everything is on track.

According to the cashier I spoke to on Monday, the new Academy is opening sometime next week. The shelves were nearly empty in many areas of the store.

Pics are there but the auction company had some tech issues. You can register to bid now and online bidding should start in the next day or two.

Man, the re-organization of products at the tower point HEB has really screwed me up.just when i knew where everything was, I gotta learn a whole new system! getting used to it.

That's what drove us away from the central HEB in CS, now we do the curb side and don't really care about the layout.

When it first opened I hated it because the layout made it such that I had to travel every single one of the 88,000 sq ft to get what I needed. Compounded by the fact that I didn't know where things were. I'd drive the extra mileage to Kroger.

Over time, I figured out where everything was located.
Now, I'm back to the original starting point, and will consider the extra miles to Kroger.

Just as an FYI if you download the HEB app, you can search for any item you're having trouble finding and it will tell you what aisle it's on. I use this at Lowe's, too, since I can't ever find a person there.

I started trying to learn where everything is in the new layout at H-E-B, but stopped when one of the managers said not to get used to it. Evidently this is a temporary layout while they add/remove various product.

I like going to the College Station Lowe's. I know that there is no way that I'm going to be bothered by an employee if I'm just browsing.

College Station Lowes is also the only Lowes that if no one is using the self check out that the person overseeing that area will not quickly check you out at their terminal. They take not helping customers to the highest level.

I have to disagree with you on that one - I was looking for an item in store - their website said the CS location had 8 of them in stock - and a Lowe's employee was really nice about searching for it for me...she spent a good twenty minutes trying to find it.

Every time I go into a lowes or Home Depot, I feel like Ron Swanson from the show Parks and Recreation.

Just like nail salons, apparently you can never have enough car washes.
