What new stores are you excited about?

Well, I for one would absolutely LOVE to see a Ruth's Chris Steak House. All the bigger cities have one and I dont want to have to cross the border for that experience...though from what I hear, it would almost be worth it!

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.....?

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

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.
