Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN

[CutiePie72]

I heard CVS drugstore was a done deal.

Hadn't heard that for sure, but I did make the comment when I heard drugstore that maybe it would be a CVS since we had everything else already.

And, splicer, I live close as well, so I'm hoping it's something "I approve of" since I'd have to go by it everyday. :icon_wink: Yeah, pretty soon we won't ever have to leave that part of town. And we used to be in the sticks when we first moved that direction. It's so much better than it used to be 30 years ago, or even 10 for that matter.

Does anyone know if McAlister's has opened yet at Tech?

Opened today.

[Choudawg86]

Does anyone know what is going to be at the NE corner of Farmerville Highway and Burgessville Road north of Pinton's at the rediight? I've heard a "trailer park" or a drugstore.

I have it on good 7th hand authority that it will be new Pilgrams Pride chicken houses.

Mccalisters had an hour wait all day long. Insane.

Wow, that is what a shiny, new toy will do to people. Not a huge Mccalister's fan, but I would have given a right arm to have places like that at Tech while I was there. Burger King and Taco Salad from the makeshift Mexican place and Chik Fil A were about it while I was on campus.

Where's the McAlister's located?

[splicer]

Where's the McAlister's located?

In Tolliver

[CutiePie72]

Not sure about what's next to GCN, but McAllister's is being built in Tolliver, so it'll be open to the public like Chick-Fil-A. We head to campus once every week or two for some CFA. Ruston really needs a real CFA location.

That's what splicer said on page 1, and I see someone else just posted Toliver.

Go to any semi-busy intersection in America now days chuck a rock an any direction and the odds are good that you will hit a Rite-Aid, Walgreen, or CVS.

It must not have been that long ago since you were there. I was there three years ago and that is all they had. I walked through campus not too long ago and not much has changed.

I don't care much for fast food joints on campus. We got pretty girls at our school, let's not chunk them up.

If you're good, you might hit 2 out of the 3 (but you've got to chuck that rock pretty hard).

I'm sure those guys know about marketing, but doesn't that market seem to be over saturated? Are they selling convenience?

No they're selling overpriced drugs at a great margin.

Must be a heck of a margin. Are you loaded up on drugstore stock?
