MarkLTD Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I work near there and was curious if anyone had read or seen what is going to replace the Chevron on the corner? They've torn down the carwash as of Friday, but no signs of anything to come. There is already a Chase, Wachovia, and WaMu nearby, so hopefully it won't be yet another bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Here is a guess:Starbucks!!There isn't one on that particular intersection yet. You have to drive all the way to Shepherd/Alabama or Kirby/Nottingham to the nearest one. How awful is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Is there a mattress store nearby? Sprint store? Check cashing store? Amegy Bank? Subway?The possibilities are endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Raising Cane's? No?How 'bout the first upscale Krystal's?Seriously, though, my guess is that they're probably just rehabbing the old Chevron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Raising Cane's? No?How 'bout the first upscale Krystal's?Seriously, though, my guess is that they're probably just rehabbing the old Chevron.I would be surprised. Marketing margins are in the toilet and this is a prime piece of real estate. There is also a Chevron station 300 ft down on Kirby (with the carwash). Note how many gas stations disappeared in the area over the last 3-5 years (Shell at Westheimer and Kirby, Texaco at Greenbriar and 59, Chevron at Westheimer and Shepherd, Chevron at Alabama and Montrose, etc etc - the list is long!). Considering land values, alternative uses of this land should be much more attractive than selling gasoline. But I have been wrong before ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Unless a whole lot of federal regulation has been changed, I'm with Hizzy. A new and better Chevron is going in. Same thing as on the NE corner of Alabama and Montrose. I think that was an Exxon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is going to be a drive thru. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm confused - isn't there a Chase drive-through right down the block. In any event, I hate to lose my favorite gas station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well...it says Chase owns the property, but there have been no construction permits posted yet...that's when we'll know for sure what's going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montecore Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 The Chase Bank has been closed quite awhile and now that the Bed, Bath & Beyond is closed down has anyone heard any intel about the bank property? It shows to still be owned by Chase and the BB&B property shows to actually be owned by BB&B which was a little surprising. I see where it is up for retail lease with New Quest but I have a client interested in the bank...any info would be greatly appreciated...thank you 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
