Just for clarity on the food in northgate issue, there is an ordinance against being open to serve food/be open after 2am in NG-1. The authorities want everyone out of there asap at closing. Before anyone asks, yes this includes food trucks, restaurants etc that don't serve alcohol.
The clear beneficiaries are Taco Bell, McDonald's, Fuego, Burger Mojo etc.

I wonder if this is one of the reasons Antonio's left. I thought I remember them being open until 3

How ludicrous is it that businesses are limited by the height of their signs and color schemes but it is ok to build 23 story buildings in North Gate.

Having to close at 2AM makes sense for not not having a Waffle House there as that would kill 90% of their business, was not aware that was a rule. Just put one close to to NG, but far enough that it can be open late. It would be stupid not to.

Absolutely it was one of the reasons. Steve Reves, a fellow Greek and friend from Providence, RI, is the founder of Antonio's. When they opened here they never hit the numbers that the New England stores hit, but they did ok. He was willing to live with that. Mostly, his NE stores had way more pedestrian traffic than here.
Once the 2am thing hit, they dropped in sales significantly. With what was an already mediocre performance situation that he was already living with that then got further degraded in sales, he looked for an exit. His NE stores always were doing double the sales of this one. I can only imagine that after the 2am thing that the CS store went down to 1/3. He was very happy to be done last time we spoke.

CoCS hates northgate. I think a lot of people living in COLLEGE Station despise the university. Especially folks in local government positions.

Texas Archery (currently with a Spring location) opening 10000 block State Hwy 30. Uncertain timeline. Also - heard that Live Oak Archery in Bryan may have closed. No confirmation on that but no recent social media post.

I think a lot of people don't like students but don't realize that without the students the money would go away.
I LOVE living near a college town. When I go to HEB, it's a smiling student that checks me out. They are smiling knowing this is a temp job. Go to an HEB or other grocery store in a non-college town, they are depressed because for a lot of the it's the best job they will ever have. Yes there are some challenges but I'll take the college student challenges compared to living in a depressed economic town. Done that. Got the t shirt. Not fun.

It was. Trying "Chicago style Greek roast potatoes" to go with the rest of the phyllo greens pie.
None of which I'd have to do if you guys would just open a Greek restaurant here already!

A Trader Joe's would do amazing in South CS. I don't necessarily like it but it would be nice from time to time to avoid the hassle of a large supermarket.

Central Market!!!!!!!!
That would make my shopping life complete. But not enough money in BCS for that.
australopithecus robustus said:
I think just one look at the central market locations page gives a quick answer. Based on the limited locations and where they are, it seems delusional to think this town would qualify for one, although I wish it would of course.
