That might be too much space for them. It's sad how little I go down Harvey so totally forgot about that being vacant.

I believe there is a vacant space in one of the buildings around the fountain on University (by Blue Baker, Razzoo's, etc.).

A little more info on the La Madeleine locations. The first location is going in an unidentified vacant restaurant and the second location in the old Zaxbys. For the vacant restaurant, I was thinking maybe the former On the Border, but that is apparently a Mr. Beast ghost kitchen (news to me). What are some other vacant restaurant locations? I would think Varsity Grill would be too $$ to make the financials work.

Quote:


Mahmood said he plans to open his first La Madeleine by December, in a vacated restaurant in College Station. He wants to open his second location, also near the Texas A&M University campus in a former Zaxbys, next year. He'll scout sites in Houston for his third La Madeleine location.

I had no clue that Zaxby's had closed! That's how bad it was. I kept going back hoping it would be different, but it was just really bad every time. I finally gave up.

The old Red Lobster building perhaps?
Is there a plan for the Las Palapas site?

There are many options that fulfill the description of "empty restaurant space."
Sad, really.

Is Zaxby's really considered "near the A&M campus"?

Compared to a Waffle House?

The answer is yes.

Old Red Lobster is going to be Javi's
Las Palapas was torn down and that is where Portillo's is going to be built.

Based on size and location, I think that would make sense.

Is Javi's still happening? I meant to ask you last week when I saw that the for lease signs are still there.

They were still pulling permits within the past few months, so I think it is still going? Their projected completion date for the work is March 2026, so it doesn't seem like there is an urgency there.

Still no opening date on PJ's Coffee. They post stuff on Facebook about various drinks and snacks, but they will not answer people at all when people reply with posts asking them when they're going to open. Anyone have any idea when they're supposed to open or what they're waiting for?

Taz remodeled the inside. It looks great! Maybe I can get there in the next week or 2 for lunch.

Have they not even started construction yet? We bid on it about 4-5 months ago and they went silent. Have been curious what is going on with that.

It doesn't look like anything is going on there.

Look Out Below said:

Yeah. University on the east side of the bypass is going to need to be three lanes each way soon. The traffic increase just in the last 5-10 years has been more than noticeable.


But east loop is bad because there isn't traffic.

Building another loop out there would not help with Boonville Rd. It was going to be too far out.

Do we know what is going in the new building across from HEB on Hwy 21, near the intersection of Tx avenue ? The dirt work took several weeks, but the building literally was placed in 48 hours.

If they put it up in 48 hours it's either an Amish or Mennonite barn, or a new JW Kingdom Hall. Those groups can erect a building really quickly.

Construction is set to start this week on the Brown Oak Brick Plant in Bryan. It will be located at Mumford and Harvey Mitchell. It is a $24 million brick manufacturing facility and will be close to 400,000 square feet. Anyone heard more about this and how many people are expected to work there?

A Murphy USA convenience store/gas station. They brought the building in in pieces and put it together.

Good. Cheap gas for that area.
