Similar to Logans?
I thought I saw a sign for Buffalo Wild Wings omw to work this morning.
much better than Logan's and a better menu IMO. Kind of like Longhorn but also with BBQ items. There is one in Bossier off I20 Benton Rd. Exit.

BW3s is next to Logan's.
Roadhouse is good. Not as good as a Longhorn or Saltgrass, IMO. But good.
I agree. Maybe Santa Fe is a good comparison.
Buffalo Construction or some such is building the site.
I was told it would be located on West California in the vacant lot next to family dollar/taco bell. If there's validity behind this, it makes perfect sense. It's near campus.
I was about to ask about that spot. Makes sense to put it there where the old shopping center was.
Thats what I saw.
probably, look what comes up on their website

Why in the world would a town as small as ruston need TWO wal marts?
My personal opinion...it doesn't. And placing one on California where the old shopping center was will play out as a big mistake. If anything, they should try to locate it by Brister's --> easier interstate access than the superstore, still convenient to Tech students, and much better access to better paying clientele (that's not profiling, it's reality...there is a large population of middle class families and college students living just north of the interstate on that exit.) Or, find a spot to purchase between Tech and downtown maybe.
I guess Walmart is trying to get away from all the stigmas of the superstores and going with the current trend.
From an article:
"Though convenience and price top the list of most important features, consumers are also discerning about the quality and variety of foods available at the grocery store. According to the PwC survey, most shoppers would pay more for organic foods (64% of respondents), non-genetically modified foods (52%of respondents) and have an interest in ethnic foods (70% of respondents said they eat ethnic food 6 or more times per month). Furthermore, consumers believe grocery stores are a part of their community: 90% of respondents think stores should give back to their neighborhood. This is why PwC concluded that “taking actions like community service, sustainable business practices, and carrying locally sourced products can make a difference in how shoppers perceive you and how frequently they come back.”
Superstores are very impersonal. Neighborhood Markets sound quite personal and inviting. The ironic thing is that those mom and pop neighborhood markets were put out of business decades ago by walmart.
It isn't another "whole" Walmart. The Wal-Mart Markets are only the grocery side of Wal-Mart -- not the typical Wal-Mart fare. They're putting the grocery stores in the communities to compete with other grocery stores. The Markets are easier to access, but I found their selection to be lacking and the prices higher than the "regular" Wal-Mart Supercenter.
The Wal-Mart Market store will be located as close as possible to existing mainline grocery stores.
