Already a Laynes there (and Zaxbys for that matter). Don't see a need for Canes.

I noticed a sign for Hotworx in Bryan on University Drive East of Copperfield. That's the third on in this area correct?

So there is a good place to get good chicken fingers…. That's the need

According to New Development, the Checkers on Holleman and the lone house near just to the east of it will be leveled for a much larger gas station that will face Welsh.

Looks like it is a 1.529 property. The grassy area behind the Checkers and the house is part of the property. Any timeline on this this project?

My kids went two times over the past week. They all said they are terrible at golf but had a great time and the burgers were good. They said the lines and wait times were fine last Friday (about 30-40 min) and long Saturday (about an hour and a half). They split up their large friend groups. They said it would have taken hours for them to be able to have two spots that were together.

That is a lot of conversation for high school kids. More details will trickle in later. They must have liked it a lot because they went two nights in a row.

Signs up for 2 new restaurants:

Naq's Halal Food in old Blake's Steaks location. Appears to be open.

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop in old Fox & Hound location. Any one know when they are expected to open?

Naq's is open for at least a couple months now. I've eaten there 2-3 times. They just finally got around to putting up a sign

And they are excellent. I really hope they do well because that is some good food.

A bunch of property marker-type flags have just gone up near the new CS water tower (by S&W Hospital). Anyone know what's being built there?

Bank
Nail salon
Donut house
Chicken strips
Free-standing urgent care

Those are my guesses

Costco will go in somewhere near there.
Trump will fix it.

Went today with co-worker. Really liked it. I got the lamb and rice platter. He got the lamb gyro. Tasty. Really generous, Texas-sized portions for each, too. A win!

Costco is back towards Lowe's. It's huge and making good progress.

I thought I saw somewhere that it is a S&W building...there was a sign a while back about a zoning request change.

Edited to add

Yeah, the Costco is a known location.

More medical space for S&W definitely makes sense - thanks for that! Have to be honest and say I was hoping for some more sit-down restaurants in this area, though. Dying for Gringo's to open up.

Hopdoddy is buying Grub. I won't go down the rabbit hole of an Austin chain buying a BCS one, but there it is.

The VC/PE company that bought the Austin chain bought the BCS chain.

"TX Chifa Street Food" is opening a permanent location in the Post Oak Mall food court to replace Manchu Wok (which I guess closed in COVID?)

That mall needs all the help it's going to get.

Manchu Wok was still open when I was in the mall a couple of weeks ago. There is a street food (tacos, etc) business is next to it, where Raining Cane's used to be. Judging by the line of customers, it was open and doing OK. I didn't look at the name of it, but it could be this one?

I wasn't there in person, it's possible they screwed up on the suite numbers online and I misread it.

Never thought much of Grub, or Hopdaddy for that matter. Hard to beat Koppe Bridge, ymmv.

Hopdoddy seems like the worst restaurant value in town. Any other nominations?

I had 3 visits in a row to KB with a refrigerated bun and haven't been back in 3 years. I like Grub. Hopdoddy a little overpriced and in CSquare where I won't go.

Huge Grub Fan. Not a Hopdoddy fan at all.
