Cool, any other retailers coming to this center?

TJ Maxx is a great store, and just like Marshall's. Don't you already have a Marshall's? If so, you'll likely know the kind of store I'm talking about. It's also somewhat similar to Burlington Coat Factory, only on a smaller scale. I've always thought TJ Maxx was a cool store... good to see you guys are getting one. My mother-in-law always shopped at the one here, so she'll LOVE knowing you guys are getting one!

Lot's of stores/restaurants are already there. Like Ruby Tuesday, On The Border, Old Navy, Cold Stone Creamey, Starbucks, UPS Store, Home Depot, Super Target and Carnival Shoe Store just to name a few. There are many more I just can't remember them all. As for new stores, Kohl's is the next store set to open. A 300,000 sq. foot expansion of Texarkana Pavilions will begin soon. Right now, I don't know which stores will be in the expansion. I'll keep you posted though.

I heard that Talbot's and Tanger Outlet Center may be coming here as well. There was a rumor about Burlington Coat Factory coming here a few years ago so I guess that won't happen.

I don't know about Tanger, but I do know there was a feature in your newspaper the other day about trying to lure an outlet development to downtown. They noted successes in Shreveport and some town in Maine as a good enough reason to try.

And I'd heard about Burlington as well. I'd guess that's still in the plans....

That would be great if something like that was downtown! It would really spruce up the area as well as spur more development. Something needs to be done with the old Mc Cartney Hotel. Either it should be refurbished, if it's not too late or tear it down.
