You'd have to be blind not to notice all the building going on in Lawton. After years of pre-BRAC indecision, the cork is finally out of the construction bottle. Starbucks is on the verge of opening on Sheridan, and while Olive Garden looks ready to open its doors any minute, word is that they will not open until the first of 08. Red River Federal Credit Union is moving in from Altus with a location by the westside Wal-Mart.
Atlanta Bread Company will be undergoing a redesign. Believe it or not, ABC will be going upscale and will relaunch as Zaria, a chain run by the management of Atlanta Bread.
It is interesting to note that ABC tried an upscale diner in the mold of la Madeleine in the Atlanta area but that folded in less than a year. The manager described the renaming as similar to what Panera did when it dropped the St. Louis Bread Company name everywhere but in St. Louis.

Re: Building business
It's about time we got an Olive Garden, after 10 years of rumors. I quess they were right to begin with. However, I like ABC as is and I am not sure we are ready for an upscale version. Up scale usually means Up prices.

Re: Building business
Check that. Starbucks on Sheridan IS open, it just hasn't had its grand opening yet. The decor is tres moderne compared to the standard decor of the Cache Rd. location.

Re: Building business
I noticed in today's paper a headline..."Brac More Costly Than thought..." or something like that. It seems that it is costing more and saving less. Is this some kind of threat! Are they going to change their minds or something? Ummm...next year is just a few weeks away. It will be just like us to get a pink slip at the last minute.
