Dave&Busters, I heard, will be near the logans and khols. I actually sent off for franchise information about Ruth's Chris, They told me they are very interested in the shreveport bossier area! A little out of my $ range for now- maybe in a year or two, IF no-ones beat me to it!:pray:

There used to be one at the old Fertitta's location at 6501 Line... (next door to Superior Bar and Grill) But that was long ago. I agree there Al, I would like to see Ruth's Chris make a come back. Good for special occasions and aniversarys etc....

I really interested in the Dave and Busters! Does anybody have any additional info? Location? Opening Dates? Links to news articles?

Let's revive this thread.

Where did this Dave & Buster's rumor begin, and who knows more about it? I'm interested because I saw a Dave & Buster's commercial yesterday and I typically begin seeing commercials for businesses we don't have when they're considering coming into this market. I do know that last year Arlena Acree mentioned she was working with Dave & Buster's to get them here but nothing was ever mentioned about it again publicly, and then she left office with Hightower of course.

Boardwalk is awesome, I documented its construction in photographs and was so pleased when it finally opened. Youree Drive is nice and so is the new I-220/Airline development in Bossier. I would like to see Bossier's development offer some things that Youree Drive doesn't, for instance since the Youree area already has Olive Garden, Carrabba's, and Macaroni Grill, build a Johnny Carino's in the new north Bossier shopping area.

Anyway I could post on this thread forever so let's revive it!

I initially heard the rumor about dave&Busters from some kids that were working @ Outback- A girl was telling her friend about applying there, so I butted in and asked "what about Dave&Busters?" She said she applied on-line, and they were going to be near tgi fridays.....?:peace:

I'm dissapointed to find out about PF Changs not being definate. Someone needs to work on that ;), lol. Dave and Busters sounds great.

I feel like I'm complaining too much, but we're not really getting any good resteraunts in the new Youree Dr. shopping center. I am happy about TGI Fridays, but Logan's Roadhouse... We really need some nicer and unusual resteraunts on Youree such as La Madeline/BoneFish/P.F. Changs.
And if we cannot get a P.F. Changs, how about a Pei Wei, it's almost the same just a little more casual.

As far as I know LaMadeleine and PF Chang's are both still in negotiations, so we can't count them out yet. PF Chang's has been a possibility since interest was first expressed in the vacant site at the Youree/E. 70th intersection. Honestly, as much as Logan's Roadhouse is "just another rustic roadhouse joint" at least it will help spread the wealth in that area. The Roadhouse Grill is always packed, and honestly I'd rather eat at Logan's anyday over Roadhouse Grill.

Youree Drive also needs - and could easily support - a Hooters. We need more lunchtime options in that part of Shreveport-Bossier, but I do agree we need more nice dinner places as well.

Oh... and Bonefish has said before that they are working on this market still. I wish they would hurry up, but there is supposedly a franchise in the works. Only time will tell. Shreveport-Bossier is currently the largest metro area in Louisiana which is still lacking a Bonefish Grill, but we do have TGI Friday's and Fuddrucker's (2 locations) coming soon. Both of those chain had completely left this state within the past few years so we must be doing something right.

Very nice, thanks for that information. I would love to see this happen.

Morpheus 11-19-2007 07:12 PM

never mind, I just read the rest of the thread. Looks like it will be a hit if this thread is any indication.

Morpheus 11-19-2007 07:37 PM

I'm actually excited about the buffalo wild wings. The food sucks, but I love that trivia game they have there.

Trivia game??? Any devout reader of People could probably kick your bootay in that game. We might have to make a SB Trivia contest at Wild Wings!!!

LOL out here 'round Blanchard way.. and after seeing a new "car wash" get built, a new bank, and a new fireworks stand get built... I'm "Excited" about the new Sonic being built :)

vixweb 11-20-2007 12:47 AM

I saw that new Sonic out there today- I have one about 1/4 mile from my house and I love it! :D
And I still think we need a SPEED ZONE !!:pray:
