The AJC reported that Chick-fil-a has plans for a new store in Columbus, but didn't say where...

I already posted this somewhere on UrbanPlanet, must of been in another thread. Chick-fil-A is going in the "The Market at Beaver Run" that Woodruff promises to build. They just closed on the land a few days ago and will begin building at the corner of J.R. Allen Parkway and the service entrance road (a.k.a. Flat Road Rd) by Circle K.

Spoke too soon, they reported today that the founder of Chick-fil-A's grandson will be running this store in Columbus! I wonder why it chose this one? Maybe because the one on Bradley Park is going of the highest grossing stores in Georgia.

Hmmmm... maybe the Ledger read our news. I have been frustrated lately with the CLE. I regularly read news about Columbus on media outside the city that's not ever reported locally.

The field being cleared next to the starbucks on Veterans parkway is going to be a new Bonefish Grill resturant. I had originally heard that the location was suppose to go into a new center next to Kohls and TJ Maxx, but i guess they got tired of waiting and are ready to enter the market. This is great news. They should be open by this summer. Now if we can only land a Joes Crab Shack here i'll be super happy.

This is wonderful news. I've e-mailed them about once a quarter begging them to come.  I love the Bang Bang Shrimp.

I agree, A Joes Crab Shack would be good. So would an Up the Creek. A Papadeaux's would be awesome, if we're on a seafood theme.

The Ledger reported earlier this week that Longhorns is planning another restaurant on the north side, but I don't remember if they specified the exact location.  It seems like I heard it was going across from Sam's Club between the lonely Arby's and TGIFridays, but I'm not sure.  Anybody else heard anything more specific?  Also, will this be a second restaurant or will they close the one off Macon Road?

It will be a 2nd location for them, and it will be located next to TGI Fridays. Once on Macon Rd. will remain open.

Very interesting.

Some plans came across my desk today for the Bonefish Grill and in the title section it's listed at "The Shoppes at Adam's Farms" -- it shows 3 buildings, 1 bonefish, 1 verizon (8,000 sqft?), and 1 retail space available on the end.

I would like to see Bugaboo Creek build a restaurant at Columbus Park, but I don't guess that will happen anytime soon.  I'll have to stop in Newnan to eat there.  The Harley Davidson dealership is moving from their current location to one on Willliams Road across from where a fairly massive PUD is going up.  Williams Road, Moon Road, and Veterans Parkway are going to have some serious traffic problems when all those apartment complexes are completed.  I'm just glad to see the economy in Columbus stirring again.  My wife is a real estate agency and although the market is still pretty soft for residential, it does seem that sales are picking up.  That's probably directly related to the BRAC realignment since many of the soldiers are coming in during the summer months.
Also noticed in the Ledger today that Pep Boys is entering the Columbus - Phenix City market.  I've always wondered why they didn't have locations here.

Bugaboo is Newnan is good. I think a Taco Mac would do excellent here. They have them all over metro Atlanta. They are like Buffalo Wild Wings but better. Anyone been to one?

Here is my list of places that I want to see come to columbus park crossing or come to enter the columbus market.



1.Academy sports and outdoors auburn has one because I have been to it and it is a nice place. So I hope columbus is next on the list to get one .


2.A kroger grocery store the size that columbus is it needs a kroger I have saw one in eithier valley alabama or lanett alabama while riding up that way one day. So columbus get a kroger .


3.Joes crab shack columbus needs one badly.
  

4.A bass pro shop columbus needs one badly as well.

[kendal 8]

A Bugaboo creek would be nice to have in columbus maybe have it located somewhere in the columbus park crossing area. I would also like to see a california dreaming restraunt and bar a great location would be columbus park crossing area they have one in south carolina and I think there is one in atlanta as well. I will try to put a picture of a california dreaming restraunt on here so you'll know what a california dream restraunt looks like and hope i don't get in trouble for posting a pic or two



California dreaming restraunt would be a great addition to columbus park crossing.
