Last I had hear some sort of grocery store was moving in however the building was in worse shape than they thought.
I heard the same - some pseudo-health food store with a lot of local products, from the last I heard.

But there’s so much parking! :lol:
They banked on the pop-up meetings providing enough foot-traffic and I'm surprised it didn't work. Sandwiches were quality.

I'm good with FedEx Kinko's there. It's a useful store to have around.

Maybe in that shopping center with the pet store that just closed but the old Freebirds is prime restaurant/bar location. Missed opportunity.

The missed opportunity was not tearing the strip mall down for a larger mixed-use development surrounded with streetfront retail.

Isn't there a 4Chan or Reddit forum you can be polluting rather than this board? There's actually some decent conversation and insight around here. It's really not necessary to troll this.

That's gold coming from you. A Fed Ex in the middle of a bar district makes no sense.

I don't understand what "coming from you" means. Other than a weak attempt to troll. Be better.
