OshKosh B'gosh plans to open a 4,000 square foot store in the River Shops center
next to The Fashion Mall at Keystone. The store is taking over the former Bear Creek and Sienna Amore spaces west of Bed Bath
& Beyond (not Smith & Hawken as an earlier version of this post reported). It will be the first Indianapolis store
for the children's clothier, which is part of Atlanta-based Carter's Inc. The chain does have a store at Edinburgh
Premium Outlets. - Express is building out two new stores at Greenwood Park Mall. Coming-soon signs are up on the former Disney Store in the J.C. Penney hallway and between Von Maur and the food court. The Columbus, Ohio-based chain has stores at Castleton Square, Circle Centre, Hamilton Town Center and Clay Terrace.
- Noble Roman's has closed its restaurant along 96th Street just east of Interstate 69. This was one of only a few old-school format Noble Roman's restaurants that still serve the original delicious deep dish. Property Lines knows of at least three that remain: 16th Street and Shadeland Avenue, Southport Road and Emerson Avenue, and 10th Street and Girls School Road. Eat up!
- Majors Sports Cafe has closed its Carmel restaurant. The Minnesota-based chain of sports bars opened its first out-of-Minnesota location in 2007 in a former O'Charley's restaurant along 116th Street. A sign on the door says a seafood and sushi buffet is coming soon.
- Longhorn Steakhouse has closed its location along 116th Street west of Keystone Avenue in Carmel. The chain, part of Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants, is opening a new Longhorn location along 82nd Street in front of Castleton Square Mall.
- Virginia Kay Doughnuts has filed plans to open on the eastside. The shop is planned for a 950-square-foot space at 420 S. Kitley Ave., a block north of English Avenue.
- Golden Dragon, a carryout Chinese restaurant, plans to open next door to a Village Pantry shop at the corner of Crawfordsville and Country Club Road in Indianapolis. The restaurant is taking about 1,000 square feet.
- Tri State Jewelers plans to open along Washington Street downtown. Signs are up in the windows and work has begun inside the building at 42 E. Washington St., a few doors down from Dunkin Donuts.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.

Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
-
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.

millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.

Being replaced by a seafood buffet? What's the over/under of it being closed within one year?
The best-ever Noble Romans is on the West Side at 10th and Girls School. It's not a company O&O which probably explains why it's still so good. Our son and his family come from Philly to go to this store, where he had gone since his elementary school days.
Also a near clone to Noble Romans (Chicago's) is open in Franklin just south of the Fairgrounds. Deep dish pizza is very similar, same breadsticks, and when they opened, they showed silent movies like Noble's.
New restaurants go belly up for a wide variety of reasons: under-capitalization - they think they'll be self-supporting too soon - usually 2x to 3x too early. Restaurants, and stores in general, have a problem with locations because they're signed into a particular lease, then when renewal is required, it's jacked up by the owners.
I love new restaurants, so I'll be eagerly awaiting the ones listed.
My wife & I have been married almost twenty-four years. Ask her how many restaurants have survived my kiss of death: one. One.
We hit a lot of new restaurants at two times: in the first 7-10 days, then 10-12 weeks, to see if they've cleaned up any problems from the first visit.
We were at a microbrew in Castleton. I asked for some tomato-based salad dressing - French, Russian, Catalina. They didn't have any. I took the waitress aside and told her to find another place to work before they closed. Sooner rather than later.
It sounds silly, but why did I say that? Because tomato-based foods are extremely popular in this region. This was their first shop outside of wherever their home base was. If they didn't research us well enough to get that right, there had to be plenty of other things which were as wrong (or worse). I didn't have to hunt. I just knew there were other issues. We went back for the 2nd visit and the same waitress wanted to know how I knew what I knew - that word was out they were going to be sunk - like a 3" Tiger Woods putt.
The only one to survive is Logan's Roadhouse on 82nd street, midway between Castleton and Keystone/Crossing. Dozens of others...?
While I'm thinking about it - as far as operations go with the headcount, 90% of the people work at sites with fewer than 50 people. Everyone hears about the big boys cutting people lose. But there aren't -that- many businesses employing that many people. All of the little stores you see (including most restaurants)...*poof* 400 stores -> 20k people have become unemployed. What do you think is easier to find: businesses with 20k people or 50?
When Eddie Met Salad is opening a new deli on Illinois Street at the end of October.

Just saying....
The ridiculous double interchange with carmel drive and 116th and side exits etc. should kill the rest of the stores. What a shame.
Any confirmation on this anyone?

Tomato Pie Bistro owner Adam Brent plans to launch a new restaurant concept in the former location of Zoe's Yogurt Village/Gourmet Franks in Broad Ripple. Tentatively named Sugo (Italian for sauce) in October. Brent says he plans to close Tomato Pie Bistro this fall and put it on ice, with the intent of relaunching the pizza spot in a new location in the coming years.
Yea for me!
