New Development Activity in the area

Wingstop has now hiring sign up. I looked inside, still has a way to go. The Nail Salon is open now

 

Here's the sales flyer for the corner lot where Scooter's was planned. They even include the already-approved site plans, so it really does seem like they just suddenly woke up and realized "this is the wrong side of the road for a coffee shop".

 

So does that mean Scooters has bailed out? Their location on Hwy 70 is on a similar corner lot, and it's just awkward. Guess they figured one travesty is enough?

 

I doubt any of us know for sure, but it sure appears that Scooter's isn't happening. They are a chain with 900 stores, so I'm sure it's up to whoever locally wanted to own a franchise.

Maybe whoever buys the property could pick up where the last person left off and continue to invest in a Scooter's. I don't know...

I wish they would have put more focus on the trails in the first phase instead of the basketball courts. It would have been cheaper and more people would have been able to use the park from the start.

 

It looks to be getting started. Looks like more activity, then just enough to keep permit active. here is the current website

I looked on the Johnston County permit site today; Whataburger has all their final passed. tables are set up. just training now.

 

so they make a veggie burger?

 

No.

Key vegetarian choices include French fries, hash brown sticks, garden salads (without chicken), apple slices, and various breakfast items like the biscuit with egg and cheese.

You can order a burger or sandwich with no meat patty, just cheese and vegetables, though some locations may not offer this.
