Went to Sweet Horse, a bubble tea place in the Kohl's shopping center today. Opened in January. Very delicious!

Not a vegan and only a partial tree hugger, but a whole lot of my money would go to a Trader Joe's if one came here. Oh, and I've only been to California once. I'd even be happy with a Sprouts and would adore a Central Market. And, to complete the trifecta (quadfecta?) - Let's get a Costco here, too!Demon 8 said:mAgnoliAg said:
Why do y'all suggest Trader Joe's for every vacant building around the area?
Isn't that where all the tree huggers and vegans shop?
If so, do not want. Don't California my College Station
I would rather see a Trader Joe's in that space than a trampoline park.

The Fusion Peru food truck has announced they are moving into a restaurant. Those are the only details I have.
West End Elixer makes them!
Is the food truck park still going to be a thing?

Yes. I know the guy who is contracted to build it out. As with all construction in CS there have been delays but they hope to be open for football season.
Good deal! The last tweet (from April) indicated they were hoping for an early June open. I was worried it may have fallen through.
That would absolutely suck, in my opinion.carpe vinum said:
It sounds like Kroger to Greens Prairie at Arrington is pretty done from what I've heard.
From a franchise standpoint, why would they put it there instead of the east side of 6?
Yes! The new Mad Taco has a drive-thru window.

Not to mention the traffic nightmare. Which is already going to happen but a Kroger would have made it even worse.
The city needs to stay out of the real estate speculation business.PS3D said:CJHajda said:
Latest update from Economic Development Director for College Station
Finally, around Chimney Hill (about five and a half minutes in), she does cover new information not previously mentioned. The new Chimney Hill will be a strip center again (though she dances around actually calling it that) and mentions that the Republic will relocate out front, presumably to the old Chamber of Commerce site. The old Albertsons site is discussed...it's a little inaccurate to say exactly how much H-E-B bought in 2011 (there were three stores, not sites all over the state) but basically what we know before--H-E-B still has a lease there and between them and the building owner, they cockblock any new ideas the city has for usage. Still wonder why the city's rolling over and playing dead on this, a previous city council might've actually been proactive enough to try to buy the building back and market it to put an actual business on the tax rolls.
Yep.
There is no way that Greens Prairie isn't going to be expanded at some point.....but let's go ahead stick another huge shopping center in that area before we do that.

Fat shack on Wellborn, opening later this summer.

I'll bet Carp's is waiting on the new Kroger.
Both the Kroger and Margraves Ranch developers are going above and beyond what is required by the city to address and improve current traffic issues at Greens Prairie and Arrington. The traffic mitigation is required and is now public knowledge. It can be found on the CSTX website. These measures include widening Greens Prairie to 4 lanes, an expanded signalized intersection at GP and Arrington, a signal at the intersection of Castlegate Dr./Margraves Ranch property, an off site extended length decel lane off of highway 40 Southbound on to Arrington, extended decel lanes on GP and Arrington in to the retail development, and the list goes on. The traffic situation after full development will be better than existing conditions. Caprock Crossing will also be reconnecting Old Arrington to Greens Prairie in the near future. That should make the Nantucket and Indian Lakes folks very happy. It will also essentially erase most of the existing northbound traffic on Arrington. The HEB was way underbuilt when it came online and is a nightmare right now. Another grocery store is desperately needed to service this area. I've lived in Castlegate since 2002. There was nothing out here then. I also knew that wouldn't always be the case. The corner where Kroger will locate is a 30 acre Urban designated corner. I'd much rather have a Kroger Marketplace there than a hodgepodge of smaller retailers and fast food joints spread out over 30 acres.Tailgate88 said:Stupe said:That would absolutely suck, in my opinion.carpe vinum said:

Even if it means another big empty box that's less than 20 years old?
Anyone heard when All the Kings Men will be opening in downtown Bryan?
AGnCS said:
Yet more apartments coming
Where are we supposed to get all these people that are going to fill these and all the others?
We need Bryan to step up and start building some apartments for once. Oh wait. That would mean they'd have to tear down those old dilapidated structures, and they ain't having that
This large new apartment complex just recently opened in Bryan:Demon 8 said:

The ac repair truck has been there.every afternoon
TX Burger in Wellborn. We went last night. Food was fine. The fries were especially good. Prices are competitive with Whataburger. Staff was friendly and were working HARD last night, as the place was full for a couple of hours. We'll go back for sure, but we live right around the corner from it. I dunno if it's special enough to attract people to come down that way if they don't already live down that way.
Anybody try the new chinese/thai place between Zands and Carter Burger? I think it's called Hometown.

Damnit! I thought y'all were shorthanding Texas Burger from the Permian Basin. Been waiting for weeks! Complete killjoy for me when I googled the hours and discovered TX burger is not Texas Burger....
Went tonight. Wasn't impressed, would rather have Whataburger.eloc62 said:any early reviews?deh40 said:

The city needs a new P&Z commission and council if they think it's a good idea for the Kroger. Those updates will do nothing to mitigate the traffic.
