They should change the name of Aggieland Car Wash to Nate's Car Wash. Then you'd really have a rivalry. It'd be like Pat's and Geno's!

What's the latest on Carp's?
C A R P
Aren't we do for a new chicken strip restaurant? Its been what, nearly 4-5 months since Zaxby's opened? What's going on?
Word is that Carp's has pivoted business models and will become Cluck's.
Anybody been by Academy today?
Really? Another chicken place?dave99ag said:

Nope but plan on going by after work. Pretty excited. I practically live at Academy.
TX Burger sign up at old Cajun place in Wellborn.
I've been wondering what is going in right theredeh40 said:

Yup, just got back from going (still best place in town to get backpacker meals).CS78 said:

It is what you would expect and is busy, but even with wall to wall people it was still pleasant.
Have there been updates on when the restaurants and shops at Century Square will start opening?

Clucky aren't you the great Texags artist?
You have got to be pulling our gizzards. Seriously? Could someone please try something other than chicken? Waffle on a stick? Meatballs and More? Anything?double b said:Really? Another chicken place?dave99ag said:

I think several people on this thread need their sarcasm meters recalibrated....Oogway said:You have got to be pulling our gizzards. Seriously? Could someone please try something other than chicken?

Mid-Late August for most places.
The other large hotel is taking bookings in August so I would assume the restaurants will be online prior to school year. The list of stores is getting pretty impressive.
Mo's Irish Pub
Piada
Tiff's Treats
Zoe's
Hopdoddy
Blaze Pizza
Hey Sugar
Berryhill
Sub Zero Ice Cream
Porters
Star Cinema
Poppy
Porter's Steakhouse
Mess Waffles-store location
Orange Theory Fitness
Merge
Runway 7
3 more restaurants, a wine bar, spa/saloon, boutique, juice bar and Dessert Shop are also under negotiations on leases.

You're right, probably do. Some days I also need a nap...

The sign is up on the building for Zoe's so I assume they aren't too far out.
I guess the good thing about a whole complex opening at once is that the new restaurant cross will be dispersed somewhat across multiple venues. It makes you wonder though what they've been able to do to draw in the retail that Century Square hasn't done. Or is it simply retailers being leery of the parking situation?
Thanks, Cyp0111! Definitely an impressive list. I am looking forwarding to visiting.Cyp0111 said:

Three investors are currently competing for the Carp's spot. Two of the business models are very similar - not sure about the other...

Parking is a key why the Century Square Development is working and the next door venue (Northpoint Crossing) has failed.
Century Square is also being developed by Midway, which has brand name to most people. The two hotels also help.

The parking lot was full up when I passed by.CS78 said:

Just left. Very crowded but ammo is well stocked and fishing is larger. They are having some issues with cash registers.
Agreed. Parking is crucial to making things work.Cyp0111 said:

Hope this Mo's Irish Pub has some good fish n chips. I love that dish when done right.
Went to the new Academy. It looks the same inside as previous store, but more and bigger. Same layout, for the most part. Not enough saltwater tackle, though.
Went earlier today. Doesnt really seem that much bigger to me.

Went to Urban Bricks the other day. Nothing special. They forgot my daughter's pizza, so that was nice. Wasn't busy. Just didn't make it. Or gave it to a drive thru customer. I had the margherita pizza. Hers was the classic. Portion is nice, but the pizza itself is meh. Speed from order to serve is good.
