Another New Waukee District

[Jer]

The plat has been announced but no stores name. Was able to get an unreleased overview.

Looks like;

Target
Ross
Sierra
Chick Fil A
Wendy's
Old Navy
Chipotle
Texas Roadhouse

That’s all we need.. more retail/restaurants.

Texas Roadhouse, I don't get it. The one in Johnston has been there for probably a decade and it's always swamped. Other restaurants in that same area are going bust left and right.

 

[Cybone]

I live right by there….pretty excited about that development

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Waukee not learning from the mistakes made by Ankeny is becoming quite the tradition. Lets just keep shoe horning sh!t into the same area because what could go wrong?

Seems like it is indeed needed

 

[GMackey32]

People still go to Texas Roadhouse?

 

[JayV]

Looks like you got a Panda Express in there as well.

 

[Gunnerclone]

New Money morons.

 

[ianoconnor]

Sierra is a cool addition to the metro.

Always packed at both the Johnston/Urbandale and West Des Moines (by Jordan Creek) locations. I don't particularly like their steak as it has no taste, but it's one of the very few places the kids will eat.

Altoona and Ames both have one now as well.

Target has been one of the worst-kept secrets. Will be nice for the people who live in Waukee who desperately need more commercial buildings on the tax base. It is also super close to where I live in WDM.

For as big and fast as Waukee is growing, there are actually very few restaurants and nothing between there and Jordan Creek. Since most of the Kettlestone Development is big build stuff (large business building, hotels, the new concert arena, etc) there's only going to be so much room out there. The Live Nations development has space for some retail and a few restaurants, but not enough.

They've been rumored to go into that spot for 10+ years but Hy-Vee was always fighting it at the City Council level (behind the scenes) to avoid the competition for groceries. Glad progress won out.

In droves. Every Texas Roadhouse is always packed. Maybe some hyperbole, but not far off.

That's wild.

That's hilarious considering that HyVee owes land in Ankeny for a third store just north of centennial high school on 36th street

 

[Shawker]

Grimes really needs a Chick-Fil-A. Just sayin'...

If what I heard is true, Fareway owns land a mile west of Centennial as well.
