Dimassi's Mediterranean Buffet coming to Century Square. Love their location in Richardson!

Okay, now there's a Houston restaurant I miss. If they were to open a Thai Spice and a Pappadeaux… I'd no longer need to go to H-Town except for Astros games.
Never been to Thai Spice, but Siam Iyara Thai Restaurant over by Golden Corral, is hard to beat...

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I wonder if this will mess with the Bombers stadium name? Or is that actually sponsored by the corporate Edible Arrangements people?

Uri Geva owns the Bombers and a couple dozen Edible Arrangements franchises, including the one here that closed. So they could probably keep the name.

What a summer for closures, worse than usual it seems. This economy and four years of inflation have not been kind to local businesses. God bless.
Trump will fix it.

Inflation and interest rates have been horrible.

Feeling crunch as a consumer, can only imagine what owners are feeling.

This too shall pass .. I hope?

The ironic part is that all of this could have been prevented. In the meantime, we should try to support truly locally owned businesses.

Just remember that locally owned franchises are still locally owned.

Feel free to go out every night of the week, Mr. High Roller. Not everyone has large amounts of discretionary cash.

Between the high cost of meat, skyrocketing taxes, medians, etc., it's getting impossible for anybody to stay in business around here anymore.

Unfortunately, it's an issue throughout the country - even places with "strong" economies. Skyrocketing rents and costs and no end in sight.

Yup four years of inflation. Higher taxes. The list goes on.

This. I remember having disposable income to enjoy eating out once or twice a week. Unfortunately with the rising cost of groceries, insurance, and everything else, it is just not possible anymore.

Yup, location matters. Nothing ever seemed to last very long in that building.

Food was so much better when they were in North Bryan. I quit eating there several years ago.

We finally made it to Varsity last night. Excellent cocktails, good food, large portions. We could have easily split the cfs with an additional side.

Did you watch the fireworks from there? We figured there was one corner window there where you could see them from there and it was taken when we drove by so didn't go in.

No idea. There were 2 TVs in the dining room but I wasn't watching either of them. I was happy to see that there are a few booths that you can't see the TVs from. It'll be helpful for taking the ferals.
