That's awful. They had some really nice breeds in there. And the cats were all friendly when I went.
Trying to cash in with a $500 rehoming fee is ridiculous

Where The Lofts is? If so, good luck. The retail/commercial component there has been a massive failure from the get-go.Marooned_n_Aggieland said:

23k square feet is not insubstantial. It's smaller than a "real" supermarket but larger than Trader Joe's, Aldi, etc.Captn_Ag05 said:Is that a convenient store? Not familiar with Union Oak Food MarketMarooned_n_Aggieland said:

That's the old Sears place right behind the mall. It's been vacant for a few years.Captn_Ag05 said:The address on TDLR is listed as 810 Holleman Drive East.

Yes, very familiar with the location. Seen construction trades trickle in and around there. Very much a no man's land location. Warehouse/Industrial use, sure, a store that requires day-in and day-out shopping seems bold and aggressive for this location. A risk I would not take, but best wishes to the developer and development!Tailgate88 said:That's the old Sears place right behind the mall.

There were some stories about it a while back. I think it is TAMU's way of throwing a bone at the city of Bryan.

Major investment in Downtown Bryan with the Varisco Building, two stories of renovation for a distillery, rooftop bar, it should be a destination for Aggies and their parents and all the families here in the community," said Mayor Andrew Nelson of Bryan.
The owner listed on TDLR has a couple of projects in Waco, one of which is Union Hall, a food hall (https://unionhallwaco.com/). They are using Union in the name here, so perhaps Food Market is actually going to be something similar to Union Hall rather than a store.MS08 said:Yes, very familiar with the location.

Gotcha, I know the spot in Waco. Been there. It is a grouping of a lot of different restaurants in one location, cool concept! But, it is located in a downtown type area with a lot of traffic, other dining around it, and is walkable. But, again, it is a cool concept and I hope it is successful. I feel like the location is a stretch here.

At least College Station didn't buy the place outright.MS08 said:
Interesting. Wouldn't surprise me as COCS has had Urban dreams for Wolf Pen Creek corridor right here since 2008. But, typically, you would see rooftops before commercial in a mixed use development area.

I was incorrect on the location and thanks for quickly correcting.
That old Sears service place is, well, unattractive to say it nicely. It looks cheap and lacks an image of purpose. I would agree with others on this being a challenge for a retail location but I hope things take off for them.
There was a little discussion on the All Up in Your Business podcast about businesses looking for existing structures vs land for a new structure. What holds this area back from development? I would think the struggling mall across the street is a boat anchor.

Let me encourage you! That location is a hidden gem! It's such easy access, especially if you're coming from SoCo you just do the flipperoo turn-around on Hwy 6- not even a traffic light to wait at. Lots of foot traffic, as the population density is high over there; lots of students. Plus you can avoid the horror show that's become Harvey Road, with all the medians. Give it a chance, whoever chose that location is brilliant! I imagine they'll demolish the current building.

It's a really well done post. Bill Burr would be proud.

Did we already talk about Murdoch's (https://www.murdochs.com/) opening a location at the mall? If feels like it has been discussed, but they are doing a $2.5 million renovation according to TDLR.

It will be next to the Waffle House, in the Whole Foods plaza
