Put in a grocery store on the east side of Hwy 6....somewhere on around University and Booneville.
^^ The Boonville Kroger isn't close enough?
An HEB next to the Bryan Target would make bank.Ric Clark said:

"Class A office space" as mentioned by the Embassy Suites developer interview, with tenants that would bring in $$$. A mid-rise office building with a parking garage attached, something Houston seems to have a dime a dozen, and place it in, say, the Chimney Hill space. Wells Fargo Plaza, Suites at Galleria Village, and Crystal Park Plaza were probably big deals when they opened, but there needs to be more of them, and BIGGER.

The texture of the meat in Eccells gyro leaves something to be desired for sure. They do other things well but the gyro isn't one of em. Just my opinion.
Orlando,
Thanks for the feedback and duly noted. We have discovered that the slow braised leg of lamb is definitely loved by many and not liked by some. A much higher percentage of folks like it vs not, and we are aware of the rift.
We constantly monitor product sales, and the Slow Braised Leg of Lamb Pita definitely does great. It's also not anywhere near a traditonal gyro, which some expect.
More and more, we get the feeling that we need to put on a traditional gyro as well, which would of course be natural given our Greek heritage.
After we get this La Bodega menu section done in the coming weeks, we will examine it.
Thanks!

By the way I mixed up some Maroon whiskey drinks for the pregame party last night and it was a huge hit. Such a weird combination of booze but it is a keeper!Costa and Andreas said:

Oh yes, please do! You also used to offer traditional gyro meat on a pizza, which was excellent!

707 wasn't what I meant. We're talking multi-story office suites here. We are talking real white collar jobs.
Galleria Village and Crystal Park Plaza are multi-story office buildings and they're both dumps. Any idea why? Just age?
What's your definition of "dump?"AggiePhil said:

Maple Street Biscuit Company
1. Yard House
2. a true Ramen place (would prefer Agu or Jinya out of Houston)
3. Top Golf
4. Pluckers
5. Trader Joe's
6. Total Wine

Not sure we need a Yard House though if Walk-ons actually builds. They are pretty similar in my mind.

I have something like that... Except that it's at the shop at my house.. And friends don't pay me anything and put my tools back in the wrong places. They do leave refreshments in the fridge from time to time!DBSwooper said:
A do it yourself garage with bays and tools for rent that would have a couple of mechanics available to advise people. Rent the bay space by the hour, pro-advice costs extra, some tools cost extra, part store delivers on site and I think you would have a winner.
Seriously though - I have this is my notebook of Bizplans.
Potential Names we're tossing around.. "Shop Therapy" or "Nailed it!"
"Nailed it!" sounds more like a strip club and guys would probably get in trouble with receipts in there pocket from there!
The Merch potential would be awesome!!
OK howdy....here is the worlds greatest idea for your money in BCS. Take the former Academy building, add the former Gander Mt building, build a bridge between the two and have one of the coolest and most awesomest go-cart tracks ever.
I like where you are headed with this.ratfacemcdougal said:

Yes!! Bankers would be tearing your door down to lend the funds for such a project. I mean, the monthly debt service on those two properties would probably only be $75,000.
Has anyone mentioned Waffle House?
BCS needs to build a bike park like they built in Rogers, Arkansas, a suburb of the Fayetteville/ Bentonville metro- http://rogersar.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/The-Railyard-57
They've reported that biking has brought in double the economic impact & tourism dollars than college sports events in NW Arkansas. Imagine if we got even half what Aggie Football brings in but spread across the entire calendar year.

Hooters or Twin Peaks! I mean why is this not already in BCS??? College girls to work there and college guys to eat there.
Hooters is building in Bryan somewhere soon. I'm not a big fan of their food but I suspect they will do well. Personally I would rather have a Plucker's.calebiam said:

IKEA
Theme parks
Skating rink
Arcade
Mini golf
Arcades

Camping area with a lake, cabins, canoes, etc
Afterschool activities- especially for 12-15 year olds
Open air market
Outlet mall..Post Oak Mall is so old

- Amazon HQ2
- A larger lake than Lake Bryan with housing development, recreation, and retail. (similar to lake Conroe)
- A town center river-walk type place (similar to The Woodland & San Antonio)
- A passenger rail that went from Downtown to TAMU as the starter line.
- Redevelopment of South College into a type of midtown. Urban and walkable with stops on the rail mentioned above.
- Less suburban wasteland development and more smart urban development so that the next time this are does want to attract something cool it won't be looked at as just a satellite suburb of Houston.

So I'm guessing you support turning the bypass into a tollroad to pay for the passenger rail? This is the only way local passenger rail is paid for. Take a look at the metroplex, if you need a reference.
