I was told by a "reliable source" that Johnny Rockets will be closing and that Panero's will be opening a new store there. Anyone know anything?

I cannot say to know but hope you are wrong! We enjoy Jonny Rockets sooo much when we visit. Would a real loss. No place else in TV has the 50's diner feel. And we don't like Panera that much.Their pastries are great, but do not like the sandwiches.LB

Wow, I hope your right, I love Panero's and it would work wonderfully on that corner. I agree also with you LB about the 50's thing, but that restaurant is run so poorly and is so dirty it would be a pleasure to have a professionally run place with good yummies.

We need a Panera's in Colony Plaza. Maybe Donna and I should open one??

Do you think they would let Panera's come in so close to Starbucks? It would be great if this "rumor" is true. We love Panera and yes KathieI Colony Plaza would be a great location for Panera or even Starbucks. Perhaps where the Mexican/Bagel place used to be..

I'm wondering if the location of the bagel place was part of the problem for them. I wonder if the Golf store location might be better, this way its as you enter the Plaza.

I can tell you from personal experience, that Starbucks does have a lot of pull in what stores they will allow around them. In LA, they had a coffee kiosk change to ice cream because it was within walking distance of their store. Can you imagine their gall? Whatever way, we need another coffee place in Colony.

In Atlanta (in 2006) I can think of two locations that had a Panera's and a Starbucks on either side of a theater.

I vote for keeping Johnny Rockets but it has to get its act together.


A Panera would be a nice addition to LSL maybe over by Borders.

I'll vote for Johnny Rockets. I have never been nor have I any reaso to go to Panera's. I went once to a store in Orlando. When I saw the prices, I walked out.

Besides, I don't thnk Paneras will serve you a double cheeseburger and choklit shake. Yum!!!

I realize this thread is all over the place and I'm not helping, but I so agree with Kathie that something needs to come to Colony Plaza. Last night after watching the shuttle we wanted a treat. It would have been great to drive right down to the Colony. This plaza needs both a place for coffee and ice cream. I would love to see a Dunkin Donuts and a D'Lights. Yes Kathie, you and Donna should manage (open) one.
