I was at Post Oak Mall today. Has Casa Ole always been there? I've never noticed the sign until today.

It's been there for 38 years. You just now noticed?

Maybe that is why Post Oak Mall is having issues keeping stores.

Whoa! Anyone ever notice that large collection of buildings on the tract of land bordered by University Drive, Wellborn, George Bush, and Texas Ave?

$300 million expansion for Fujifilm and will add 150 jobs. Exciting how many expansions they've announced in the last couple of years!

Things BCS definitely needs to bring in as new businesses:

Banks
Nail salons
Smoke/vape shops
Churches
Coffee shops

Maybe it is me, but I see lots of bank branch locations, but when I go into one there are only a few employees, most of the offices are empty, and there is only one teller. If it is all work at home, then why are there so many bank branch locations?

doubledog - I believe maroon barchetta was being sarcastic.

There are joke about it on TexAgs because they are the most common types of opening and arguably oversaturated in our market.

I took barchetta's post as such, but I still am waiting for an answer to my question.

Why would a bank open a new branch and not staff it properly?

New trend in banking.BofA, Chase and others have had kiosks to talk with a banker virtually for some time now.

I have no idea why so many banks are even opening branches. I have not stepped foot inside a bank in years. Even for business, you can use the drive up, and deposits can be made in the drop box.

The kiosk thing is a great idea.

TIM HORTONS Is coming to Texas! The Houston area to start, so I guess we should get one/some soon.

Are they still planning on building the Andy's Frozen Custard? Wife and I love that place and we were so excited to hear it was coming to College Station. Haven't seen or heard anything about it since the announcement months and months ago.

Yes. Site plans were submitted in early November.

I dunno. The 27 Dutch Bros. proliferating locally may dissuade Timmie's from setting up shop here.

That being said, banks, nail salons and chicken finger establishments haven't been affected.

After years of waiting, the TETCO there at Texas Avenue and Harvey Road is officially a 7-Eleven. I haven't been by the other TETCO yet so I can't say much for the Chevron at Highway 21.

I stop at Hwy21 TETCO/7-11 a couple of times a week and can't tell you if the outside sign has changed or not. Lots of 7-11 stuff inside though.
Somebody has to lose. Might as well be t.u.

The new Exxon station on Harvey Rd near Koppe Bridge looks like it's getting close to being finished. They recently put up the signage on the building and the name is "BuyBuy". I've never seen that name on a gas station and can't find anything with Google. Has anyone seen this branded gas station before?

Maybe it's a suggestion!

Phase II renders are now in the leasing brochure with two restaurant spaces in negotiation. It also appears negotiations are underway for a large fitness business under Star Cinema and a business next to Kendra Scott and Onward Reserve.

Sunday is the last day to fish on Gibbons Creek. Wonder what will become of the lake with the new owners?

At some point, La Madeline was announced for Century Square. Not sure if that is one of the restaurant spaces in negotiation or not. Also, other Midway properties have a Lifetime Fitness in them, so wondering if that might be the large fitness location in negotiation.

Won't matter to me until they do away with their stupid pay for parking policy. I don't care if the garage is free. I'll shop and eat where I don't have to pay for parking.

Retail renters think the same. Onward Reserve owner was unequivocal on his criticism when I discussed with him a couple of yr ago and other renters agreed. I completely steer clear of there - more because I can find similar vendors without the issue rather than I find the issue too obnoxious.

It is free on Sunday, just FYI. Porter's does a solid brunch!

I noticed the land at the SE corner of William D Fitch and Hwy 6 (across the street from Lowe's and Exxon) has a sold sign on it.

Anyone have info on what may be coming here? Sorry if it's already been discussed.

All I've heard so far is a non-Bucees (clone) gas station and other retail developments

Supposed to be a nice C-Store like Bucees but not the size of a Bucees. It was literally in the deed restrictions that it could NOT be a Bucees. I think that development will take up 6-8 acres and then other parcels will be created and sold for various uses.
