It looks like Johnny's bar is up at 115 College Main, the cramped space above the sake bar, where the lawyers' office used to be back in the early 2010s. I was thinking he'd have an actual storefront.

Ybanez said the group took over the space this summer and have been working to build it out. The bar itself is expected to be a more high-end location with a focus on visuals and audio/video, Ybanez noted.
"The systems we use for all of our other clubs are kind of incredible," Ybanez said. "We use pretty state-of-the-art stuff. It's going to be super high-tech and nice with some design aspects that are different than anything else you'll see in College Station."

If I recall, the Albertsons was supposed to be split into (at least) two retail tenants, but with the dwindling supply of ~40k square feet big box stores that we don't already have, it seems pretty unlikely that anything could go there.Captn_Ag05 said:
Anyone heard any news or rumors lately on the old Albertson's location on University? It was late last year or early this year when someone from the city said that there was some exciting news on it that couldn't be shared quite yet.
On BCAD the property owner is HCL UNIVERSITY PARK LLC. I see one of the managers of HCL is Christopher J. Pappas (Pappas Restaurants). I can't remember if that was already discussed.
100% the city can coax Albertsons back to the site with some incentives but Tarrow and Tarrow East need to be reconfigured first.
And CoCs needs to do something about the flooding that area causes - the area behind Albertsons acts as a basin which then empties into Pin Oak Creek
Water drains from Cooner, Tarrow and Arquello, Chimney Hill all behind Albertsons.

With HEB's lease now being up, I'm surprised that Kroger hasn't taken advantage of opening a store there to have a presence closer to the student population. That box is definitely larger than the Texas/Southwest Pkwy store which closed a few years back. I wonder if Albertsons or HEB put a lease restriction on the space precluding another grocer from moving in?PS3D said:If I recall, the Albertsons was supposed to be split into (at least) two retail tenants, but with the dwindling supply of ~40k square feet big box stores that we don't already have, it seems pretty unlikely that anything could go there.Captn_Ag05 said:

Sounds like a lift station may be needed.

Yes. But there's supposed to be one built in SoCo.
I just went to Bryan. I wanted a beef dog on a pretzel bun with mustard; my go-to. Then I got a Large Coke.
ALERT: Wienerschnitzel switched from Pepsi to Coke after all these years, in March, which is shocking. Most places do the opposite. It was nice and cold!

There is a sign up in front of the Popeye's/Dutch Brothers on Texas that says "King Buffet Coming Soon" -- is it safe to assume this is the same as China King buffet? My kids want to know - they always loved the all you can eat desserts there...
Asking the important question here! Yee star is a crap buffet! I would love if the former China King Buffet was going to reopen as King Buffet. Anyone have any information?
On the upcoming CS council agenda is the purchase of land on Greens Prairie for the new fire station that was approved by voters last year.

Drove by the Salad To Go location today (or whatever it's called).
It's no bigger than a Dutch Bros! I had no idea it would have such a tiny footprint.

Per BCAD COCS still owns the property. So I'm guessing Levcor didnt complete the acquisition.

Article in the WSJ today. Seems McD and BK are at only about 15% dine inside these days - down 5-10% post 2020. They are pushing franchises to renovate interiors while the franchises want to do less rather than more.

I have eaten inside a McD about twice since 1990. Not a surprise. If anything, they should build a bunch of drive through only places.

CFA has done a number of drive through only. They had one in round rock (35 and 45 toll) that they tore down and completely rebuilt to eliminate dine in and add more drive through lanes.
CFA is now going even further with some new concepts that eliminates the cashiers for taking your order. Everyone will order on the app, pick up their food, and leave. I think I saw where they were seeing >50% of their orders on the app already.

Quite informal of them to not give notice ahead of closing for good.
Not a "good look"?

Brazos County is building a new firehouse near Royder and Wellborn by the new health care facility. I assume it is replacing the one at Wellborn and South Dowling since the crossing will be closed soon.Captn_Ag05 said:

Al's with the heart or Al's without the heart? Two different chains, as I understand it. Believe ours had the heart.
Why is that crossing closing?
From what I understand, the new Royder intersection will be the new crossing. On the other side, Koppe Bridge Rd will eventually go over the tracks where the bend currently isGarhett_W said:
