Yup. Also something like a quarter million people in BCS and within a 50 mile radius who shop here.momlaw said:
30+ year TJ customer.
Spoke with a Houston area manager in December. She said sooner rather than later and she would like to mange the store here.
Reiterated point that our official demographics do not reflect the out of town resident students who have seemingly limitless financial parental support.
Manager at another Houston store echoed TJ has learned this in another SEC community and is mitigating their parameters.
Evidently valuable points to make in the online submission.

Trader Joe's would fit well into century square.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
A developer friend has a grocer as an anchor for his upcoming project and I'm pretty sure it's TJ. He hasn't told me, but I'm confident I'll know when we have our charette soon.
No I can't say who or where it is. Our group is working on something there and it's very early right now.

But are you saying it's not in the Grub center, like the poster above has said?australopithecus robustus said:

I'd give a >50% chance that it's the aforementioned H-E-B at FM 2818/Wellborn, personally.Count Counterpoint said:But are you saying it's not in the Grub center, like the poster above has said?australopithecus robustus said:

The developer at the Grub center is David Scarmardo. I'm not friends with him lol.
It's also not the wellborn/2818 deal.

When checking out of Trader Joes in Houston in December, the checker told us that the next TJ in Texas was going to be in C.S. near a new hotel. I thought Atlas, which would be pretty perfect, since the only other thing out there for the Traditions people is Walmart. However, there are a lot of new hotels . . .
I had my doubts that we would really get one though, after Aldi opening so soon. However, Aldi seems to be doing well, to the point that I do not go on Saturday afternoon because it is too crowded.

Time will tell. I will post something when I know more and it's ethical to do so.

Agreed on both accounts. Do not understand the facination with the hooters restaurants
Same here. Hooter's food is awful, and if you're looking for eye candy, Twin Peaks makes Hooter's look like church.
Aldi is a completely different company than Trader Joe's (Aldi Nord vs. Aldi Sd), the only difference is that TJ's parent company operates the Aldi stores in places like Belgium, Netherlands, etc.musicforall said:

But yes, I do remember seeing a plans for a small grocery store in the Atlas plan, so maybe it could be a reality.
EDIT: Unless it's Century Square, which is closer to being realized and was supposed to have a "specialty grocery store".
Somewhere on Fitch there is a sign up that says "Coffee and Wine Bar." Sorry that's all I got,
Odd source for corporate expansion news.
I think you mean the "Tipsy Bean". Interesting concept. They have a Facebook page, but don't appear to be open just yet.FlyRod said:

Kai's donuts owner sold and opened the new donut place on Texas. Gogh Gogh Coffee now carrying their donuts instead of Kai's
The new place is called "Babe's Donuts" and it's on Texas Avenue in Bryan close to the Shammy Car Wash. They also have kolaches, muffins, scones and possibly bagels.

So the coffee place does or doesn't have the Kai donuts?
Whoa whoa whoa. So no more Kais? Or did they move to new place. I'm confused
I never got to try Kai's! Boo! Is the current Kai's on Wellborn closed for good then?
My understanding is that Kai's is still open but under new ownership.
It looks like Sweet Horse bubble tea opened up in the last week.
Donuts at Babe's are pretty good. Large selection.
Made my day!!! Whoop!! Gonna keep sending in requests until it is a done deal!

WAY too far from the bypass.
What in the heck happened to Chimney Hill? That area looks like crap again.
The developer backed out on the deal. Rough for the republic steakhouse. I'm not sure what their plan is but they need to move to one of the newer mixed use facilities going in.

Peanut Gallery got leveled.
The old Piknik Pantry/thrift store?
Where?
Probably of little interest to anyone, but Brazos Moving & Storage near TWS is now another CubeSmart.
Does not. Carrying Babes now
Kai's has a new owner. Original sold and opened Babes
How can I confirm Orange Theory?Cyp0111 said:
