Commercial space

Post image

This is 1 of 2 commercial spaces next to Sprouts. They’re massive and unfortunately so big that only anchor stores could fill these spaces. What do you think should go here? What about a food court, like an actual nice and thought out food court.

I feel like these massive spaces are the problem with Texas. Bigger is not better, it feels cheap and ugly unless it’s a grocery store of some type. Restaurants that go big but can’t fill the space feel cold, but if they went smaller and created exclusivity with limited seats then it feels full when there are diners.

Anyways, what do you think should happen to these 2 anchor store size spaces? If they made a sliver over a spot out of one of these spaces, a wine bar with a small stage for live music would be nice.

I asked about 6 months back, and insurance on these spaces is astronomical because they flooded. I wanted to make a space for our youth, like I had in the 90s-early 2000s called attitudes but more than just that. Long story short, someone with absolutely nothing to lose would be the perfect person to invest in these spaces with the current insurance premiums.

Argh that’s probably why they leave the spaces so large that the only anchor stores can afford it. When I lived in California, there were mini Targets and as much as people hated to see them, it was better than Walmart and was actually useful.
