The Costco house brands are really good. That is the biggest benefit to me.

This. And the gas will consistently be the cheapest in town.

This was University House in Austin so maybe it will look better in person than the renderings

Costco has crazy customer loyalty with all the different things you can buy with the membership. We have friends that have booked vacations, refinanced their mortgage, and even purchased AC systems all through Costco.

Buff City Soap is coming to Jones Crossing - on the other end of building where Oishi is located. I got excited when I saw the sign because I thought it said 'Soup' not 'Soap.' I'm not as excited about a soap company that wants to be known as the "Starbucks of soap."

It'll be interesting to see how their gas prices compare to Sam's.
Trump will fix it.

Stemming from the employee tax fraud issue ?

Looks like the KFC at the corner of SW Parkway and Texas is renovating, with those long trash containers outside but the drive through still open. Guessing they're trying to compete with the Popeyes, which seems to do a better business.

Regardless of Popeyes, that location needed a renovation. It looks drab

Does anyone actually know the opening date for five guys? I have noticed that they've only come out and said later this month. From what I have read.

I googled "5 guys coming on date" but, alas, I don't have an answer for you. I need to go sit in a dark, quiet place now.

I'd give you a star but that might brighten your place...?

New place called Maama's African Kitchen, seems to be takeout and maybe delivery only. The photos on their FB page look pretty good. Lots of rice dishes snd stews. Chef is from Nigeria.

A "restaurant" operating out of an apartment unit isn't exactly promising.

Do you know for a fact they are operating out of an apartment?

I am pretty sure that is illegal. It is like the bakers that can't cook with eggs outside of a commercial kitchen.

They could easily be using a commercial kitchen and that's their home/contact address. We have some friends with a similar business who do just that.

That's not quite right. We can use eggs. Not all finished products that use eggs need to be refrigerated.

Looks like they are not actually new but have been around since September at least. Guessing if they were illegal they'd be shut down by now.

Unrelated , but we appear to be getting an Oh My Gogi Korean food truck. Apparently they had a soft opening Thursday according to the Twitter.

I'm a Costco bigot! Their stores to me seem brighter, cleaner, better products (Kirklands vs whoever Sam's uses), etc. their fresh produce and meat seems to be higher quality, etc. Just my opinion though.

Not sure if I missed it. There is a big dumpster where Ninfas was. Any ideas?
I asked this same question a while back. No one replied so I guess it's a mystery?

Well, it was already closed and had been closed for months. It was closed well before COVID if I recall.

They're simply answering a question as to why there were big dumpsters outside. People assumed remodeling was going on for a new business.

Closed in March 2019. Pipes could still have water in them and freeze, you know.
