That is some of the best news Ive heard in a while.

Looks like Target and WalMart will be getting quite a bit less of my money. Ive always liked the selection and diversity of options at WF.

They told me this AM that they don't do cookie cutter stores. Their most recent store that opened in Fairview, TX (near Allen) is 41,000 sq. ft.

I would think it would be located in the building to the west of Blue Goose. They would probably take up everthing in the building north of the tunnel.

Will be on the hard corner of 407/2499. Here is a general idea of where the store will be located:

This is such good news. The demographics are here and have been for a long time to support a high-end grocer.

Ahh, totally on the corner. Current tenants moving? Are they going to remove parts of nearby buildings?

Two existing tenants at the mall will be relocated to make room for the store.

I had read that. That is why I asked if parts of building were being removed. I had thought the other location previouly because of the tenants moving, thinking that they would be clearing space in a building.
