Person of knowledge told me that Adams won't spend extra $$$ on facility expansion because Caprock is not making a profit right now.

Doctor's are giving Adam's scenarios of how to make a profit but he isn't seeing the long term effects of immediate investments so Caprock will be closing down because of it

How does a place that bills a patient $500 for "radiologist to read results," AFTER insurance, not make a profit?

Because that money is going to the radiologist group, not the facility.

So DA doesn't want to follow bad money with good ? Probably a good move. The original owners of the Caprock ER got out over their skis with the Caprock Hospital in Bryan. Their gamble - not an unreasonable one - hasn't paid off. Freestanding ERs are failing in many places. I don't think theirs would be if they had stuck to their original model. I suspect WDF is doing well but the Bryan location is more than offsetting it. At some point any investor has to ask how much more? I have no inside info, nor am I invested in Caprock or any competition of theirs. But I do observe the local and state and national trends closely.
This thread deserves its own thread - not coming and going at this point - although it was completely appropriate a day or two ago.

All employees got a letter. Closing in December. Some kind of bonus if they stick around through the last shift.

I was told by someone in theknow, that one of the problems with Caprock is that they often don't try to collect on outstanding bills. If the patient just ignors the bill, they don't persue payment. Not a good way to run a business.

Probably the writing was on the wall when they sold both the Century Square and Jones Crossing facilities to Integrity a few years ago. Any time a company sells or closes a quarter or more of their locations without a clear path forward for the rest of the company is NEVER a good sign.

+ rice and salad. Doesn't seem too crazy to me relative to Chick Fil a costing $15 for grilled chicken sandwich with a tea and fruit cup.

One of our favorite spots in DFW, really excited to have them in town. Plenty of food.

Those were urgent cares - not freestanding Er or hospital. Different business models.

Agreed. You'll pay more for much smaller "tapas" at several places in BCS.

File under "possible comings:" friends sent me some info about a Ukrainian woman who just moved here with her family and is looking to cater and also sell food directly.

I'll add details as I get them. I saw pelmeni, varaneky, stuffed chicken breasts (chicken Kiev?) and Ukrainian crepes so far in some pics she shared.

Had Wild Pita for lunch yesterday. It was good! I got a burrito and it was a really nice size, having it for leftovers today. Parking can be an issue, but other than that, I will go back.

Agreed! Wild Pita is awesome. The options and quantity is great for the price. It has become our favorite quick grab and go meal. However-that parking lot is terrible!

Remember JT McCords back in the mid-80's with their 21 Shrimp salute?

It was great.

Miss that place.

Man the Caprock news is a real gut punch. My family has used it so many times and it's so convenient and fast. Is another entity gonna buy it and operate it or doors closed forever and that building repurposed?

I was not a fan of their billing practices. My ( young adult) daughter was seen for an UTI in mid- 2023. Covered under my insurance, paid what was owed at that time. Then, 18 months later, received a bill for more $$ owed. Got some song and dance story about billing BCBS, appeals, etc. I and my family have used S&W, St Joes, Integrity Urgent Care, Signature ER and have never experienced this. Was not a fan. But still sorry to see a local business fail.

My understanding is it wasn't a local business anymore. They sold out a couple years ago to a group out of Houston.

I'd gladly pay $12.50 for 21 shrimp. 6, with rice and salad? Nope.

Yeah that's a little steep for this town.

Coco Shrimp is the real deal, got a plate yesterday, huge bed of rice, nice side salad, the dressing for the salad is incredible. For price point and quality, very very fair. This place is going to do very well in Century Square.

I saw a kid hopping into a brand new King Ranch F-250 at Target the other day. Kid had to have been a freshman, looked like he could have passed for 15. Even if I had the money, no way in hell putting a kid in an $80k truck
