Mmmmm... Jamba Juice is soooo good.

[Buddy Holly]

Had it once when I was in Vegas visiting my cousin. It's good, however I think I prefer Smoothie King.

[T Park]

Panera Bread = St. Louis Bread Company

[Extra Stout]

For a metropolitan area of nearly 2 million people to be busting a nut over getting nationwide retail outlets is kind of pathetic tho.

[Kermit]

it could be an upscale taco cabana...

Panera Bread = St. Louis Bread Company




don't know the st louis bread company either.

[Extra Stout]

Aren't you from somewhere around there? If not, why do you root for the Cardinals?

[T Park]

My family is from a small town outside of St Louis.

My grandfather was a Cardinals fan when Musial was there, and my father, and so on.

Missouri or Illinois side?

[Spurfect]

OMG!!! Panera!!!! That is something that I miss dearly from Houston...
This had made me sooo happy :hungry: :) :)

Dallas is a metro of 5 mllion and for it to bust a nut over its first Central Market (SA based) is king of pathetic.

And who's busting a nut in this thread?

[jman3000]

is that mixed use residential/retail?

[Buddy Holly]

Yes, mixed use with retail/res/office.

[boutons_]

Is it in the long wedge area between east of Basse Rd and west of the quarry pit golf course?

I hope they make it like a European walking street where no cars are allowed. A villiage for pedestrians only.

[Buddy Holly]

Yes, that's it.

No, no. Central Market is the best specialty market chain in America. Panera Bread is just another sandwich and bagel shop.

A chain is a chain and to have a reaction as the Dallas area had over Central Market... well, it made all the Krispy Kreme freaks who camp out at every single opening for every single franchise look... sane.

But again, who's busting a nut in this thread over Panera Bread?

The figures in this drawing are too thin to be San Antonians.

You have to understand that Dallas folks want very badly to be sophisticated. When Central Market shows up with its wine racks, olive bar, and 18 varieties of fennel, Dallasites think maybe they're starting to become a world-class city.

Please don't remind them that Central Market is a San Antonio-owned concern, and not a Barcelona-owned one; it will shatter the illusion for them.

And while you, Buddy, our faithful, gentle, autistic savant of all things urban development, may merely be providing a service of information to us, I also know that San Antonians, despite having long since "arrived," still view the influx of relatively ordinary retail businesses as some kind of validation.

Once again, ES delivers a flawless post.

And yet doesn't like the "sprawl".

Ever notice how often Spurfect reminds everyone that she's indeed from Houston?

actually I'm not FROM Houston, I lived in San Antonio before I lived in Houston. but I was over there for a good seven years so SORRY if it is a big part of my life and i talk about it :rolleyes

and yes i'm busting a nut over panera :oops

[Spurfect]

sorry double post

[johnsmith]

Did you quote yourself in order to really hammer away the point?

[ashbeeigh]

I went to the one in Waco a few months back and was shocked there wasn't one here. I cannot wait. Everyone is going to love it!

[1369]

I ate at a Panera while I was working in Florida last year.

It's all right, but I'd much rather eat at Quicksands.

[Spurfect]

Did you quote yourself in order to really hammer away the point?

no.. i was trying to edit my post and I guess I hit quote instead and edited within that text. my mistake. this board seems to be going SUPER slow for me.. is it like that for anyone else? seems to be the only site going slow for me

[scott]

Is there an Au Bon Pain anywhere in SA? I'd prefer that to Panera... anyway, cool development. Hopefully they get some unique local restaurants in the Cafe Paladar mold.

[mookie2001]

I heard the Paggi House might open up in SA

[TheTruth]

No, no. Central Market is the best specialty market chain in America. Panera Bread is just another sandwich and bagel shop.
Damn right.

[mookie2001]

Paggi South

Yes... Cheesy Hotel Deli Alert - In the Double Tree Club I think.

[Spurfect]

is Central Market sort of like a Whole Foods? and where are they gonna put that? sounds great!

[jman3000]

maybe i just havent been to that many places that sell beer... but central market has the best selection of beer i've ever seen... which isn't really saying much.

[jman3000]

i know of 1 central market that is located near/in alamo heights.

and i'm pretty sure i've seen a whole foods in the quarry market... to the right of the movie theatre.

[Buddy Holly]

Word is, SA will be getting a Trader Joe's.

[jman3000]

the devil you say.

[jman3000]

when do we get a statue of liberty? that would be tits.

[j-6]

You guys will like Cosi - they tell you that the bread is less than a minute old when they put your sandwich together and that totally makes an $8 sandwich about as big as one from Potbelly worth it. There's one in Long Island I frequent damn near every time I'm up there. The franchise group that owns all of your Red Robins in San Antonio is behind this and has a deal for three more.

Cru sucks but it totally fits the cellphone-addled upwardly mobile crowd that'll get excited about new furniture stores.

[samikeyp]

We have Panera here in Lansing...its pretty good.

We are getting a Chipotle soon....looking forward to that! :tu

Now we need a fucking Sonic.

[Spurfect]

that would be great! I love how SA is growing so much.
Jman I've been to the whole foods at the quarry many times, it's a very nice market, very expensive though :depressed
