but go out and support the businesses we have, especially the locally owned businesses

I have and continue to do this to the fullest extent I can. However, I have soured on many local businesses that, frankly, just aren't very good, don't try hard, or are badly managed. In these cases I find such businesses always want people to support them JUST because they are local, and not because they offer something of value. I also find that it is precisely these local businesses that go under, more often or not. So yes, we SHOULD support local businesses, and they in turn should not take our community for granted.

Would love a central market but won't get my hopes up.
I'm generally surprised there isn't an Einstein bagel place in town yet.

Wow, lots of hostility toward local businesses here. Seems like many people have never run their own business and/or had to deal with the public. I think waiting tables or working a counter in high school or college is good for kids so they can see what it's like from the other side. It's an eye opener for sure.

That said would love to see a Buc-ee's, and one of those new Amazon bookstores.

I would like to see a Jason's Deli or Panera or even McAlisters around Tower Point. Blue Baker doesn't do it for me!

Really surprising JD hasn't already expanded or announced plans to expand. The current location kills it and can be a parking nightmare at times. BB doesn't do it for me either.

All the stick-on chrome do-dads you could ever want and employees who barely know how to even start their own cars. Bring your own part numbers and verify them before taking any parts from Autozone.

I'll still drive to NAPA on 2818 so I can hit up the older guys who actually know how to help when building a very-not-stock project.

I wish there was a Shipley's closer to Holleman/Wellborn. Maybe put an Express version in the new HEB Strip Center?

Speaking of the new HEB strip center on Wellborn... anyone have any scoop on businesses going in there? (apologies if this was already discussed)

There's a Shipley's like 2 miles from there.

2 miles in B/CS is like 20 miles in Houston...according to us natives.

Since this thread topic resurfaces every so often, I think I'll just through this one out there- - The French Laundry. Place it northeast of Bryan and see if it will work.
nice!

I'd settle for a Waffle House.

I'm sure South CS will get a First Watch or the likes of it sometime soon.

MACS mac and cheese shop (Wisconsin chain) wouldn't be likely to move here, but I wonder how a similar restaurant would do.

According to the interview with the spokesperson for the development (about six months ago) they would be releasing the names in bunches of five to ten. I'm thinking something will come out soon as the HEB is scheduled for late summer opening?

I'd love a good art/drafting supply store.
