Cool. That part of the building didn't have its flooring poured yet as of the Fall but after that gets done it should be a fairly quick handover. Solid win for H.L. area, which hasn't had a lot of big name places move in despite lots of new commercial spaces..

Olive Garden is apparently going in Grasslands but they'll be building a standalone site. The Brown's space is about half the size they need.

Yay! We finally have a nearly mediocre pasta place in Regina!

Luigi's on North Albert?

I wondered... Brown’s space is pretty small.

Would fit a pub (e.g.: a big Leo’s), but is smaller than I’d expect for most full-service restaurants.

The new place in the former Flip on Hamilton will be called Soju Bar and Lounge.

Awesome, cant wait for Olive Garden!!!

What do you guys feel will be the next "big" business that shuts its doors?

I know why you might say that, but everything I've heard is they're looking to expand.

Just because you don't like them doesn't mean no one likes them :)

I've been there a few times and didn't mind it (though I thought it was a little expensive for being what is effectively a re-themed Burger King), but I've also heard they've had a few health and safety issues (under-cooked chicken that has caused food poisoning more than once) that would have spread via word of mouth.

Two issues in July, addressed in August follow-up.

Tony Roma's and The Nest. Somebody will probably come along and develop the site into another small commercial development.

Oooh! Maybe someone can develop a big, long gas bar and car wash along that side of Albert too.

Eh, it's not like the latest South Albert strip mall is doing that well...

The Press Box may be the next to go. Their rent is being increased and the current owners are strongly considering selling or even moving to the old Famoso location on Rochdale. I honestly don’t see either happening.

PressBox is currently listed for sale. I am surprised how long that place has been open. It's been moldy and smelly in there since they first opened, and the location is terrible.

Famoso on Rochdale closed already?

Press box was one of the better sports bars on the city. Atrocious location though
