Place: QuikTrip
Lunch: Chili dog, Pepsi
Lunch was SUPPOSED to be at Hardee's, who announced on their Facebook feed that the Grilled Cheese Bacon Thickburger (beef, cheese, cheese, cheese, bacon, mayo on buttered and toasted sourdough bread) was returning today. Naturally, the local Hardee's didn't get the memo and weren't offering it. I'm betting it'll be two weeks before they can be bothered.
Yet another example of the laziness that ensues around here.
Speaking of laziness, here's an update on the laziness I blogged about in early April.
Taco Bell - The new pre-fab Taco Bell that's taken months to build is FINALLY opening May 23rd. I found a newspaper article written months ago where the franchisee claimed they'd be opening in early April, and that the old store would be closing "a few days before" to move some equipment over. That store will have been closed about two weeks once the new one opens.
Whole Foods Market - Apparently July. Was originally supposed to be "Spring". The whole thing was already enclosed by the time last year's construction season ended.
Taco John's Broken Facade because Some Idiot Drove Their Car Into It - They're replacing the glass today...something like two months after the incident. It's just glass and glass framing for crying out loud.
The next one that might be interesting to watch is the re-debut of Dunkin' Donuts into the market after a decades-long absence. They're rehabbing an old Kum & Go (actually, I think it was originally a QuikTrip, then later became Kum & Go) that Kum & Go later replaced with a new location. Franchisee is pegging September for the opening.
Uh huh. I'll believe it when I see it.
