I don't think so. Berg Hospitality has at least six coming down the pipeline soon. In addition to Buttermilk Baby, Annabelle's, and Turner's Cut, there are at least three more in planning. One restaurant is Tavola at Blvd Place. The restaurant is in partnership with the Bastion Collection. Another restaurant is slated for the Docks at Timbergrove. And one more is slated for 1818 Washington Ave: On 5/21/2021 at 7:26 AM, IntheKnowHouston said: Punch Bowl is no longer coming to 1818 Washington. Lovett is splitting the two story unit into several units. One of the tenants to sign on is Berg Hospitality. The group led by Benjamin Berg operates B&B Butchers next door. Berg Hospitality applied for a TABC permit listing a restaurant named Benny Chow at 1818 Washington Ave. I have no clue about the concept or an opening timeframe.

Texasota Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 That Kroger is fine, but this is still a good spot. Something more specialized or maybe a Trader Joe's would do well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the trail there are now two e-bike shops, dozens of restaurants and bars, multiple specialty shops and gift shops, jewelry stores, upscale retail but one still can’t find everyday items like a bodega in many other cities—produce, pantry essentials, over the counter drugs etc It takes 30 minutes to round trip walk from this location to the Kroger on 10th. Kroger’s location is not designed for trail users or to welcome people arriving by foot or wheelchair users. Frankly I believe that entire block of Merchants Park is way overdue for a redesign and densification 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can also walk along the west side of N Shepherd Dr from MKT trail to that plaza, only to cross some driveways. There will also be a trail extension to the Kroger plaza from MKT trail, aligning Durham Dr. All of the new businesses along the trail are great, but they are usually too expensive. I'd rather ride a bike to the "car-centric" plazas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 SuitShop is opening a storefront at M•K•T, 600 N Shepherd Dr. The retailer sells suits and tuxes for men and women. SuitShop's co-founder announced the news a few weeks ago. There is also signage at M-K-T announcing the store. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkKKnpHsnDB/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Yum Cha (also spelled Yumcha) soft opened at M-K-T / M-K-T Heights. I'm not sure if it opened a week ago or two weeks ago. The bubble tea shop is located at 600 N Shepherd Dr, Suite 458. Photos are from Yum Cha's Google Maps listing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Looks like the hot chicken restaurant boom is getting a run for its money with the bubble tea boom. There is Feng Cha going in on 19th and Moge Tee on Shep where Chick'n Cone used to be. Not sure whether there is that much demand for bubble tea or whether there is a bubble tea . . . bubble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chempku Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 There will be a Gong Cha near the Kroger on Shepherd also. Go to Chinatown, you'll find like 10~20 different bubble tea stores. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
