It's a Mercedes Dealer. I beleive I mentioned before that it was going across from Carl Gregory but the land deal didn't go through.

Has anybody heard anything else about what is going in around KOHLS? I heard a rumor about a Guitar Center coming to town but nothing concrete. I do know that a Bonefish Grill has purchased property over there and plan to open around the beginning of the year. I have noticed quite a few Dave and Buster's commercials on local TV lately. This is usually a sign of interest in a market. The same thing happened right before Kohl's and TGIFridays announced plan to come.

She just asked had I heard anything about it because has had three or for people ask her what she felt about it. I don't think she even had a clue. She doesnt really keep up with thing like that.

Have any of you heard that there are talks of building a SuperTarget on JR Allen Parkway, near the Gateway Dr. Super WalMart? My sister lives near Beaver Run and says that is what people are saying.

I have been reading a few of the other forums and keep hearing a lot about lifestyle centers. I guess this is the direction retail and residential are going. Any chance you think Columbus will get something like this?

Once Columbus State finishes their expansion, everyone will want to locate downtown. Colleges always attract development. I was really happy to see some lofts start showing up down there. It's a really good use of the space. The Eagle Phenix Mill development will also bring a lot to the downtown area.

I was at Chrysler looking at the 300 and asked the manager there what was being built across the street. The land has already been cleared and a street cut though there. I would assume it would be Columbus motor company. I couldn't see two Mercedes dealers in this area. At one time I heard a Belk was going somewhere over that way but never heard anything else about it. That's another store that would do well here. So many options but no one seems to be going after these businesses to get them here. With 30,000 plus people coming here, there needs to be more retail for all those young soldiers to shop.

Oh I forgot that they are building a new Mercedes Dealership across the street from El Vaquero and Chrysler.

I guess you heard about the Verizon Wireless store being built in front of Lowes and the Starbucks next to Krispy Kreme. I have not heard much else other than that. A Fuddruckers would be a welcome addition here but don't you think there are so many restaurants already? I would like to see something like a Dave and Busters come to town. I have sent emails to the chamber about that but never got a response. My wife and I moved here from Atanta in 2003 and really miss some of the shopping up there. She always complains that there is no Pottery barn or Crate and Barrel here.

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am interested in how you know all of these developments. I know of some through the newspaper and driving around town but nothing like the info you have. I was wondering if you heard anything about the tract of land next to TGI Fridays. Any word on what's going there? Hopefully not more restaurants. Columbus needs more new retail. Thanks!
