Suburb or subdivision? If suburb, I would go with Zachary.. I had a similar question asked to me the other day about which subdivision was best, and did not know what to say.

Thanks, Antrell! Dan is correct it is going in the vacant shopping center behind the old Pizza Hut (I think there will soon be a Chinese restaurant in the Pizza Hut). The movie theatre/ bowling alley/ laser tag/ arcade group is rumored to be Malco. They are a national group. Close by, they operate 2 bowling alley/ arcades in Lafayette - named Acadiana Lanes and Lafayette Lanes.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Glad to be able to contribute to this place. Richy.. That's my goal! I plan to develop more big buildings in BR (when and where it makes sense).

This forum is awesome.

I'm not sure if this was posted already, but I saw calls for a movie theatre in Gonzales. The article below suggests one may be in the works for Airline at 44:

"Also during the meeting, Council members agreed to accept a recent economic incentive package by the Ascension Economic Development Corporation, with the hopes of enticing an entertainment venue on the corner of Hwy. 44 and Airline Hwy.

The venue would include a cinema, bowling alley, laser tag site and an arcade.

Included in the package is a tax rebate on tenant-made improvements, a restoration tax rebate program and a two-cent sales tax.

The rebate program would excuse five years of property tax for improvements made to the property.

The cost to the city would be upwards of $40,000."

Another Broken Egg announces opening date

Another crack at it: Another Broken Egg Café will open the doors of its new location at 2531 Citiplace Court on Dec. 12, marking a return to the Baton Rouge market after a hiatus more than a year long. The space is next to Jason’s Deli and was formerly occupied by Harold’s. Another Broken Egg had two Baton Rouge restaurants about three years ago. However, it closed its O'Neal Lane location because of slow weekday sales, and its Old Hammond restaurant was rebranded, then forced to close after the franchisee was sued for violating a non-compete clause and allegedly using trade secrets. The new restaurant will be owned and operated by local development group, Double R Restaurant Group, which has no affiliation to the previous owner and currently has plans to expand Another Broken Egg Café to North Carolina with five locations. The restaurant will serve breakfast, brunch and lunch from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

The former Broken Egg/ LaLou on Old Hammond near the light at Corporate/ Old Hammond and Jefferson Hwy was just recently foreclosed on. It is now owned by the bank. I wonder who will go there next... Great location. Although, the building and parking lot could use a face-lift.
