Where is the gas station in Brownwood?

Bonny 08-18-2014 09:44 PM

I do believe City Fire will be taking it over.

A friend of mine told me there is going to be a gas station at Sumter in the near future.

I can't substantiate his claim though!

There are two theories. One is that the evil Morses drove them out of business by charging too much rent and ten percent of the onion on the hamburgers or..

The whole chain is closing some locations. We have GREAT restaurant business here in TV for three months of the year.

Bonnie will tell us who the new occupants will be, and I am guessing The Villages is trying to find a tenant.:thumbup:

Next?

I believe the answer is that Friday's closed quite a few locations in the past year due to a downturn in their business. We used to frequent their location in Lakeland until they closed it about 6 months ago. Unfortunately they never seemed to be overly busy so it was not a surprise that they closed at that location. Can't speak for the Villages location since we just moved here in May.

The new gas station is in Pinellas Plaza and I imagine south of 466A is considered Brownwood?!? Just as south of 466 is considered Lake Sumter.

My understanding is that gas station will be part of the golf cart store that is being built at this time on the other side of Barnes and Nobles. Maybe only selling gas to golf carts?
The store will also be a service area for golf carts.

FlamingoFlo 08-19-2014 05:16 PM

That's what was in the paper a while back. Showroom, service, and gas for golf carts only.

Bogie Shooter 08-19-2014 05:19 PM

Why would a gas station servicing cars be necessary?

Getting a little off subject here. What do TGIF closing and gas have to do with each other. Now there is an opening for a joker!

Some of the meals TGIF sold were Mexican food. Thus the discussion on gas !

Badum-bum!

We went to TGIF shortly after arriving here in April 2012. The waitress took our order, but it never made it to the kitchen. After a more than reasonable wait, we complained. When we finally got our meals, they were not good and were billed the full price, so we never went back. If anyone asked our opinion of TGIF, we gave it. Maybe others had a similar experience and hence the downturn in business.

nycowboy98 08-20-2014 02:48 PM

Not a Gas Station
 
If you look behind Barns and Nobel you will see the new construction...it's going to be a Service station for Golf Carts, that what I have been told....:wave:

No. It was a corporate decision.Locations were closed all over the US.
