Taco Bell in Ames... CLOSED???

It's funny that the more development that goes on in campustown, the less places there are to pick up a cheap bite to eat.
I really miss Home Team Pizza. Not the best, but $5 larges, oh yeah!
Yeah, used to have Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Panchero's, and Home Team that are gone. Is DQ still there?
Yeah, I thought it might have. I couldn't remember from last time I was there. That is horrible. I really don't like what they are doing with campustown. It is cool that they are renovating, but all the old business are leaving and I'm not seeing great stuff come in.
DQ was first replaced by some smoothie/ice-cream shop, and now Flying Burrito is there.
Oooh, Flying Burrito? Well, that makes me feel a little better from what people have said about the place on here. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in town.
And of course Planet Sub is new since I was in school, and that place is pretty good.
You would think that corner would be perfect for another restaurant to come in. If the owner would spend some money and fix that parking lot then you have a great spot for foot traffic from students as well as a very highly traveled stretch of road with easy access. I'm hoping that we'll get a Hardees or Chick-fil-A or something like that.
Im surprised des moines doesnt have any other than the one in jordan creek mall... you'd think itd make sense to have more than one in an area.
No. There's just much better fast food options in Campustown than Taco Bell and McDonalds. Those places are dying off not because business is leaving Campustown, but because there are other Campustown businesses killing them off. They can't survive when there's ridiculously superior quality for marginally greater prices available.
Thats why at 2am on any given weekend there are long lines at the drive throughs at the burger king and the mcdonalds on duff.
If part of the covenant to having a store at Jordan Creek Mall is a requirement to be open on Sundays, then Chik-Fil-A wouldn't have a store there - part of Chik-Fil-A corporate policy is to be closed on Sundays.

Ooops - misread. I maybe hit Jordan Creek once a year (assuming I can't find ISU gear in Ames that I like before/after a game), so I really don't know what they do or don't have.
+1,000.....It was disgusting, dirty, poor service, etc but my god, the Mexi Melts and Chalupas were awesome in college.
