Voted for a few items. One thing that was not on the list that I would like to see is a Bruegger's bagels

Isn't there still a bruggers on 401 s across from new wal mart in garner?

 

as much as a book store would be nice, they are barley surviving as it is, and no new ones are being built.

 

A retail news site had reported that Barnes & Noble would close 223 of their 661 remaining stores over the next 5 years. This was in early 2015. Ill try to find that article and link to it.

 

No Carrabba's?

 

A Salsa Fresh, or a Chipotle's (now don't go getting all political on me, since to me food is food no matter where I get it!) would be nice, since I'm not much of a fan of Moe's food. A Noodle House, a Greek, Indian, or Middle Eastern place, a Flying Biscuit, or another breakfast place, a Sweet Tomatoes, a decent Italian place, A dedicated PIE SHOP for those times where you just want to go someplace for a little dessert after the movies or shopping. For food stores, a Harris Teeter, Publix, or Trader Joe's. And Home Goods: Please come back! You left too soon! Would also love to see some space reserved for good quality, affordable "mom and pop" restaurants there too, along the lines of "Simple Twist", but I guess they're just building chain restaurants now? Oh, and maybe the builders could set aside some space for a plaza with some nice shade trees, a pergola, and maybe a water feature to sit at, kind of like Southgate Mall where people just love to shop, eat, and walk around - nothing too fancy - but something a little more casual and "down home" that reflects our area? Right now, even the original White Oak Shopping Center isn't all that friendly to pedestrians. Is that asking too much??? Lol.

 

I'd love to see a space developed for fun activities like go karts, mini golf, laser tag, etc etc. Someplace where a family can go for a night out and not have the wallet emptied. Its possible to charge just 3.00 for a go kart ride instead of the typical 7. Same for mini golf. And offer discounted passes for the day or season. If I could get a backer, I'd operate it myself.

 

I don't get over to that side of Garner much. Would be nice if there was one closer to white oak. I even voted for the Dunkin donuts. I thought it was in Garner but its in Raleigh.

 

Hobby Lobby!

 

Do they put Hobby Lobby's near an existing Michaels? I don't know.

 

Its only about 10 minutes. But I know that is a bit trying to get to work, if its out of the way.

 

Hey Rocky, you should check out Jessica's Handmade Donuts 1863 Aversboro Road, Garner, way better than Dunkin Donuts.

 

Not Garner but close enough http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle...ruction-starts-for-two-big-new-retailers.html

 

K&W cafeteria

 

A Syrian daycare.

 

What does Hobby Lobby have that Michaels doesn't? I've never been to a Hobby Lobby and was curious/

 

Think of an expanded Michaels and Carolina Pottery combined

 

Doesn't belong on this Thread and you know it.
