Wait - 14th and Studewood or 20th and Rutland? And how many Fiesta's does the Heights have, lol?!?! We'll find it next weekend. I do not recommend the one at 23rd - then again they also sell roasted corn and the such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are across Rutland from the 20th St. Kroger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callisthenes Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I am told that his main complaint is the sound of the generators. I was sitting next to the generators and I was unaware of their presence. Evidently this man has sued Fiesta multiple times, so they would just rather not deal with him. Call your local Fiesta and complain. Tell them you will not shop there if they are not going to fight for the communities in which they do business. Allowing one person to make decisions for the entire community does not show strength of character. I will be shopping everywhere but Fiesta. Call Fiesta and tell them to say yes MAM's!Ridiculous, you will be playing right into the hands of the man who complained and got the snoball stand moved if you boycott Fiesta. He clearly has longstanding "problems" with he supermarket, and if he is the same individual who has previously posted about these "problems" on other websites, it stems from his prejudices against Mexicans and other Spanish-speaking peoples that live in the neighborhood.Keep shopping at Fiesta if it fits your location and budget (they've got some cheap produce!) and get your New Orleans-quality snoballs at the stand's new location.

heights_yankee Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 In a grass lot with park benches? Gone 0-2 on trying to get a durned snoball! park benches? i think you might have the wrong location. there are no park benches at MAMs. just picnic tables. the lot also has some chintzy wood spikes with string which are a sad attempt (but better than no attempt) to seperate parking from the kids-can-run-around area. in other snoball news- Serena, the manager from Antidote, will also be opening a snoball stand in the next couple of months. this has been in the works for a long time and i was kicking myself when MAMs opened first... anyway, her stand will be at 10 1/2 next to Hello, Lucky and rather than your traditional syrups she will have fresh juices and homemade syrups. on white linen night i had grapefruit. heaven. she also had one called "amber" which was carmelized sugar. my niece had creme brulee and she had about 8-10 other fresh flavors. i think the heights can definitely support both these businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
