I have a much easier way to get to downtown Bryan. But I'm not saying because I don't want to increase traffic on my commute!
Texas Ave. 4TW.
Trump will fix it.

I typically park on the side of 6 and then just walk down the medians into downtown Bryan. It's obvious this is the real purpose of medians - walk-ability. Now Bryan is a hiking destination.

I know that way too. Plus sometimes you get a glimpse of the ostriches.

I live in South CS but go to downtown Bryan at least once a week. From now on I'm taking Wellborn -> Harvey Mitchell -> Leonard and come in the back way. I know it is probably a little longer timewise but I don't care.


I just go to 21 and then take a right and then another right to head downtown. WJB maybe? I'll do that if going to the Palace or the Stafford

The real secret is that Finfeather from the GSC to downtown is 45mph, low traffic and only one stop light.

Except if you happen to get behind somebody, they are likely going 35-40 down the entirety of Finfeather

Burger Mojo Drive Thru (location#3) coming to South College Station! Don't ask me where, because I can't say yet. More info to follow in the coming weeks, but we're targeting to open pretty quickly.

I will guess the Zaxby's building
Costa and Andreas

No. It's not a good fit for us. We didn't even consider it.

Taco Casa.

Ha that would be the next logical guess, but not there either.

Bahama Bucks will be another concept

Heads up on Walgreens they just went private in a leveraged buyout. No word on closures yet but they've got 8,000 locations so it seems logical some may be shuttered.

Private Equity plays are killing the tech sector. See: Broadcom / VMWare / Citrix… having my neighborhood pharmacist trying to squeeze every last dime he can out of me like a Car Sales Manger is not going to be pretty, IMHO.

The former So Fly spot?
Costa and Andreas
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We have other very exciting plans for the Solfy spot. Been waiting and working on it for a long time. Getting close, but not a done deal.

When we say Burger Mojo drive thru south, we mean south of Barron and north of Nantucket.

Private equity is killing everything. My company used to be a great place to work and is now utterly miserable.

Anyone know the timeline on Chente? They have been remodeling for some time.

Also, is Dirty Dough in Tower Point going to open or is that business done? I know the other location didn't last a year and I am guessing they are owned by the same franchise partner.

We were the largest and most successful company in our space. In the past year we have bled market share as a direct result of changes made by the PE group. Then they became reactive and implemented even more bad ideas to try to "catch up", and put a ton of pressure on us to do so. Their plan was always to hold us for a few years and sell again, so it's a total **** show.
Hornbeck

Buddy of mine at one of those tech companies I listed told me that the PE guys implemented a "squeeze pricing" scheme, meaning if they were a loyal customer and didn't have a large footprint of a competitor, prices went up 200%, because they wanted to cash in the pain in the butt it would be to get off that platform. Oh, and they purposely stalled negotiations to put the customer in a bind.

The PE folks only have "what makes me money now" in their view. Not "what's going to be left in 5 years after I crash this place?"

If my local Walgreens does that…. No bueno.
