It was a joke in reference to they fact if Walmart puts 2 stores with in 10 miles of each other their is all this out rage. So are all the complaints because its a Walmart or a grocery store. I am not a Walmart fan at all. I don't give them any of my money. When Walmart put a small store on Westheimer Parkway their was a big uproar. The increased traffic and selling alcohol so close to a school was the complaint. If it was a Heb Central Market everyone would love it. Even though the Heb would have 20x the traffic of the Walmart neighborhood market. This new Kroger will be selling alcohol right across the street from a high school. What students will be more likely to cross the street to by beer? High school or Elementary school students? Blue Bell can knowingly have issues that kill people and people still have God Bless Blue Bell signs in their front yard. If Walmart did the same thing they would be crucified. I personal think the Kroger will do well and be a success.

So where is all the outrage at Kroger putting 2 stores so close together? The store on FM 1463 and Spring Green is less than 3 miles away. Gringos will be good.

that's it

I just saw this and thought it would be an intresting addition to the area. Looks like a waterpark near Katy Mills Mall. https://www.facebook.com/KatyTexas/photos/a.247109592060436.43711.246754612095934/725934494177941/?type=1&theater

According to Houstontx.gov planning website it shows it will be a CVS pharmacy. Great website by the way shows a lot of the planning and devlopment coming. http://search.houstontx.gov/search?q=cvs+barker+and+fm+529&client=egov_frontend&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=egov_frontend&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&ud=1&exclude_apps=1&site=all_collection&image.x=6&image.y=9

I really don't see a masive shift into Brookshire because of Royal ISD. They don't have the reputation of a upper end sububan school district. Right now the big subdivision with a Brookshire address is Willow Creek Farms but it is Katy ISD. You may get some starter neighborhoods in Brookshire (Royal ISD). I think where your major growth will be is between 290 and 10 along Grand Parkway. You already have big MPC planned for that area that are just now building or about to take off.

Looks like their is new for lease sign in front of the building. I guess the Joe V's deal fell through. It has been empty for 7 years now. I would rather have a Joe V's then an empty building.

Brother's on I-10 and HWY 6 and Rosa's on Mason rd in Katy. Rosa's has an awesome Stuffed Pizza.

I clicked on the link but, it was for Premium Subscribers Only. Does anyone else have the site plan?

The rumor in the grocery biz is that it will become a Joe V's smart shop. Joe V's is owned by HEB. It is typicaly a smaller store with not a wide variety but cheap prices. In the last few months they have removed the graffiti that was by the entry and put the chain link fence up. Also late last year their were electrical contractors working inside the building. Not sure if that has anything to do with the Joe V's or just maintenance. The last few times I drove by I did not see a For Lease sign that used to be front of it. With the Heb lease ending on Jan 1 2014 they can try and get a better deal from the landlords. I have heard Joe V's is supposed to open 3 stores this year while HEB is supposed to open 5-6.
