Ah an annual tradition of mine to let my fine brethren on SPS know of new additions to the town that they might not have seen or heard about yet. It amazes me how much we’ve changed in regards to restaurants and stores.
-TBT Butcher Shop downtown in the old Welcome Home Beef location has some great meat and seafood. I heard great things about their poboys too.
- Bully Way that connects Lee Blvd to Blackjack is now open.
- Art, art, and more art: we got a grant to paint intersections downtown, will look great and kudos to the Carl Small Town Center on getting that done. We also have some new sculptures up and down University Drive that liven things up even more.
- The old main Cadence building is now used by the MSU Research and Technology Corporation, really nice renovation of it.
- Northstar Industrial Park might be getting a new tenant that Joe Max busted his *** for, it has to do with electric vehicles that’s all I can say.
- Taste now has an Italian menu and it’s pretty damn good
- Magnolia Social might be the best restaurant in town. Heard they’re planning on doing something big to go along with the restaurant but I can’t say anything yet it will be worth the surprise should it happen…
- Arepas (underrated gem that folks need to check out) is moving to the old Commodore Bob’s spot in the District from State Theater
- Dulce is moving into the bottom of Grand Junction next to Humble Taco
-Marco’s and Godfather’s Pizza are now open
- Nutri-Groove is now beside Bulldog Burger in that house that was office space, you’ll know when you see it, it’s an aqua blue
- Walk-On’s will open by the end of June there was some supply chain issues with equipment
- Chipotle is now open on the old Petty’s spot, heard Five Guys will be there soon
- Dunkin’ is leveling the check cashing spot next to Wendy’s
- Vowell’s will now be a corner market/ACE Hardware with a fast casual spot to be named later
- Spring Street Cigars is now in the old Mugshot’s downtown and its renovation is stellar, really great spot
- The new shopping center with Petsmart, Aldi, etc is getting put up fast. There’s another restaurant moving in there that hasn’t been named yet.
- Heard rumblings that Malco is looking to open a theater with a bowling alley similar to the one in Oxford
- Wendy’s is looking to add another location toward HWY12E and 82
- Cornerstone Park (the new ball fields) is coming along nicely just had issues with all the rain and supply chain. It will be a game changer
- With the annexation our population obviously went up and we will be seeing more stores and eateries soon
