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.

I haven't heard about that. I know there is land across JR Allen Parkway (across from Swift Textiles plant) that is going to be developed. The plans called for 300,000 sq ft. of retail. I haven't heard much about it lately. I think a SuperTarget would be great. Much better than a Wal-Mart Supercenter. What all does she know about SuperTarget coming?
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 think (but not sure) that the idea was to make the museum look like the old Iron Works (present Trade Center) where the ironclads were constructed. Unless I am mistaken my brother had a hand in the design
(know he did the Challenger Center), so I will check with him and see what he says.
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?

I totally agree. Belk would do very well here. Hopefully some new announcements will come and maybe Belk, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Kohl's, etc. will be announced. With all of those dealerships moving from downtown, that opens up a good area for a nice high-rise hotel, condo, or office building. I hope something like that will go downtown soon.
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 didn't know about the Verizon store. I saw the land being cleared a few days ago. My friend is trying to put a Fuddruckers in along Airport Thruway area. Applebees is moving from Harmony Place to a free standing building along Airport Thruway. He is looking to put it where Applebees is currently. Fuddruckers is being very difficult though on where they want the restaurant. Columbus does have A LOT of restaurants and there seems to be no slow down either. I think with the amount of new people coming with Fort Bennings expansion and Columbus normal growth, these restaurants are needed. I do agree though that Columbus needs something like Dave and Busters. The closest thing we have to that is Hollywood Connection. Have you been there? It's more for kids than adults. A Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel would be perfect for the Columbus Park area. The problem though is that Columbus is running out of land. Many developers have recognized this and have bought large parcels of land in Harris County along I-185. Columbus can only move north or east. Hopefully Harris County (I can't stand the place) will open up to commercial development.
I haven't heard about this at all! This is huge news. Is Columbus Motor Company moving from downtown? I know BMW and Acura of Columbus are moving to a beautiful showroom in Columbus Park. When did you hear about this? This is great news.
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. -
Glad to see another Columbus supporter. Most of the things I know about come from reading the paper and word of mouth. I know some of the local developers, and they keep me updated on a lot of things. I am not sure whats going in next to TGI Fridays. There is a lot of land right there. Across the street will be a Sam's Club and another Wal-Mart Supercenter it looks like. I have also heard that another Home Depot or a Kohl's might go in but thats not for sure. The Sam's and Wal-Mart are a done deal I believe. At the end of Columbus Park will be a Big Ten Tires and a Red Robin (heard that from a friend who is trying to build a Fuddruckers). In front of North Highland will be a 60,000 sq. ft. shopping center with a bank and a hotel. No mention of what will go in though. If you have any information on new developments please pass it along!

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!

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.
