Crumbl Cookies has announced their grand opening will be March 4th.

Advice to anyone in this thread to not try going there for at least a month probably without ordering ahead online.
Young white girls like Crumbl like nothing else.

Their cookies aren't that good anyway, wayyyyyyy over sweetened.

Not necessarily.

Southern Air out of Louisiana bought Barkers and has now bought Climate Doctors.
Southern Air is owned by Apex Service Partners Private Equity
Apex Service Partners is funded by Alpine Investors which is also a private equity firm.

The rumor is they will move Barkers into Ed's new building and now operate under the Barkers name. Ed's brother in law (I think) is the GM of Barkers and Ed's brother is the salesman at Mullinix. It wouldn't surprise me if Mullinix doesn't fall next to Southern Air.

Nothing local about these guys. They care nothing about anything except the profit. They have some very lofty KPI goals that must be met. Typically the best employees leave very soon after acquisition.

I'm kinda glad that they've lost their local edge and look forward to picking up customers from them. Ed is a _____ but you cannot deny he grew a sizable business.

I've heard rumors that Alpine is heavily funded by Trane. Id say it's highly likely as all of these HVAC companies switch to Trane if they weren't already and they deal directly with Trane, not a distributor.

Good for them, they earned it. I'm not sure how long the ship will stay sailing but as the old saying goes "rising tides raise all ships". I'll all for higher margins.

You think two blocks from NG is too far to continue a bar area? The churches in the NG area have killed the potential growth of NG. 70,000 students and we are stuck to a tiny area for nightlife, while the churches hold onto the land that could bring in a huge amount of tax dollars. The fact that the best small concert venue is Harrys is a disgrace.

At least the Lutherans allowed for progress while still having a presence in the new apartment high rise. We need more of them to wise up.
You really think that people who visit Northgate's dozens of bars and eating places are going to walk a couple of blocks to visit one additional bar on a small lot that is surrounded by churches. church parking lots and a street? I guess if they offered half price drinks people might. I go to Northgate at times and it would have to be a great venue for me to go there rather than to just another NG venue.

The churches were there way before most all the bars were there...probably 75 to 100 years earlier.

I bet for the right price, Culpepper would sell you the two pads sites next to Harry's. Make them an offer and built a great concert venue!

There's no price that will buy that. It will be redeveloped as a legacy property. Hence the name, legacy point.

To boot, there's not near enough parking there for the properly sized venue for large concerts once it's redeveloped.

Someone needs to win the lottery around here and build something like the old Texas Hall of Fame.

I have to get my suit and hat from the cleaners. Anybody got some shades I can borrow?

Who is in? I need a partner. If you are shorter than me you can be Jake, if you are taller than me you can be Elwood.

Looks like Chimy's is expanding.

On a side note, Maloney said they used to call the Deluxe Burger Bar "something else that started with a different letter"? I was around in the Deluxe days and don't remember any other nickname for it....?

Edit: I was reminded of the **** Hut nickname by a friend.

Early 70's, when women first lived on campus the establishment was almost a sorting tool.
There were the women who knew and those who did not or did not care.
Interesting social interplay on many fronts.

Your mama might be pleased or concerned or both that you were not in the know.

I know we pretty much put the Buccees to bed as not happening, but this list of coming Buccees solidifies it not happening in CS any time soon

Where did you get Chimy's from?

the private owner does not have access from university. Wouldn't that rule out Chimy's?

So you can read in between the lines on who bought it or rather who didn't buy it based on the audio....if you know, you know.....

From listening to the audio at the bottom of the page I linked above with discussion during the city council meeting, they specifically mentioned Chimy's.

Do you have other information?

Whatever happened to the huge high end mixed use development that was supposed to go in on Boonville across from Miramont? They cleared the land, then nothing happened.
