After 40 years, Kettle will close its College Station restaurant

So many times we would "Settle for the Kettle" late at night. Sad day indeed.

Bob Brown is a great guy! I wish he would rebrand & start a new Waffle Cafe style breakfast restaurant in Century Square!

---

I'd take a Der Waffle Haus ala Dead Like Me! That'd be so great.

---

As long as we don't have to do any grim reaper stuff.

If you don't think Mason or Rube would be a blast to hang out with, I don't know what to tell you.

Btw, there is rumor of a movie that was made following the series.

False.

There is no movie. Don't believe the rumor or seek out said movie.

Popshelf is opening a location near the Bryan Target. I wasn't familiar with this store, but sounds like a Five Below competitor.

There's a big "coming soon" sign where the old tacobar used to be on Wellborn. Unfortunately I couldn't tell what kind of food or chain was going in there.

A restaurant owned by two Texas A&M former students called Wingers Restaurant & Alehouse is also set to open in 2023.

South College Station is also expanding with new boutique retail experiences like Pinspiration and Brazos Brim and Hat Bar.

Indoor go-cart racing company K1 Speed will be opening a franchise in College Station.

City officials haven't heard any news about the business coming to the area but they say they are excited to add more family-friendly entertainment to the area and look forward to helping the company find a location to accommodate them.

"We're always looking to bring more entertainment to the city," said Vasquez. "As far as what business and what venues we're trying to get to come to College Station entertainment is one of our priorities."

Wingers Restaurant & Alehouse is excited to announce its latest expansion in the Midwest, as the company will be developing locations in Texas. The initial new franchised location is scheduled to be opening in College Station, TX, in 2023 and will offer the same great food and sports atmosphere that fans have come to love from Wingers. This growth marks an exciting time for the company as they continue to expand throughout the Mountain West and Midwest. Wingers USA, Inc. CEO Eric Slaymaker announced that the brand has executed an area development agreement for central and southeast Texas with Jaem Dwyer Industries, Inc. Jaem Dwyer Industries consists of investors and developers James Dwyer and his wife Amy.

Wingers Restaurant & Alehouse is the perfect destination for delicious food, cold craft beers, and an energetic sports atmosphere. Serving award-winning handmade wings, sandwiches, burgers, and salads, combined with excellent service, Wingers Restaurant & Alehouse provides the perfect atmosphere for socializing, watching sports, and eating great food.

"We are extremely excited to be working with James and Amy Dwyer in bringing the Wingers Alehouse experience to College Station," said Eric Slaymaker CEO & Founder Wingers USA, Inc. "James is going to be a fantastic franchisee and operator, and is looking to expand the Wingers Alehouse brand in central Texas. Texas will go crazy once they get a taste of our world-famous wings, sticky fingers, and craft beers!"

James and Amy Dwyer both retired from their careers in the oil and gas industry after over 25 years. Recently Amy took the role as Director of the Professional MBA program at Texas A&M University, and James serves on advisory boards for the University and two charities.

Both James and Amy are former Texas A&M students. They are looking forward to bringing the new restaurant concept to their community and introducing them to the delicious wings that are thoughtfully prepared that have made Wingers a household name for decades.

"Wingers brings a family-oriented casual option to the city with a focus on local sports, whether it be college or high school," said James. "Contributing to the Aggie and College Station Community is very important to us."

"I think this is a perfect business for a fast-growing college town," Amy added. "College Station has a student body of over 75,000 students. The faculty, staff, and community are growing at a fast pace. This is the perfect offering to fulfill the price point and desires of students while also providing a great environment for the general community. Who doesn't want to watch the Aggies play football and eat great wings? This combination is undeniably perfect."
