I personally do not think it has anything to do with the other store. Geographically they will have little or no effect on each others clients.

Good luck finding a place to park.

On one hand Bob Evans in the area is great, on the other, I wish it was farther along the road and not in such a terribly busy area. Often it is difficult to get parking, traffic near Walgreens and the bank behind is dangerous and the golf carts share the road with vehicles. Past the Shell Station or some other equally convenient location would have been safer for everyone.

The one on 466 is WAY too busy to close. Any time of day, the parking lot is packed. They will be a huge success at their new location as well.

Not for me.....way too much MSG in absolutely everything....(even lettuce). Look on their web site.

Not complaining....my allergy..my problem.

The article said since TV CR466 location has done so well, they've decided to add a second location at Colony next to Walgreens. The article did say they were closing 20 locations nationally. The Leesburg location closed about two years ago, that was due to the construction and rerouting of traffic at the 441/27 split. The intersection has also claimed the Sonny's BBQ, so it was the location more than the business.

Hopefully they won't build a smaller unit like the CR466 location. I had two in the Baltimore area that I use to dine at, and they were both twice the size of the 466 location. The only negative is that it's almost too good a location. Judging from the amount of business at the 466 unit, this Colony unit will be inundated with customers. For example with PDQ opening, I thought McDonalds would slow down, but when I went there for lunch last week they had an order line through the store.

What's wrong with Darrels, McAlisters and Toojays? I'm glad Bob Evans is coming but there already were multiple good choices. Cinnamon buns at Burkes are very good and Fruitland Park Cafe is a family favorite.

is it the lot they fenced in?

Hope they build a large parking lot to go with it. Parking is terrible at Colony Plaza.

May be a new record. The first negative post happened after 17 positive posts.

I think you are right. Usually doesn't take that long.

I go to Colony once a week (at least) to get my pool water tested. Despite the fact that it can be crowded, I quickly learned to use the entrance/exit by the gas station. Makes like much easier.

I take just one negative post to mean that this is a winner restaurant to most people and they share my positive feelings about it. Their salads are always fresh and yummy and I like the Colonial dressing (their signature) which is a sweet poppy seed. Their breakfasts are incredibly good and don't miss their big breakfast that comes with a crepe. DEEEE lish a mus.


I love their celery dressing that comes with their turkey plate. I really like their bean soup and their roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes makes you believe you are back in Ohio. (The CENTER of the universe)


Their management at every location I have ever gone to are excellent and the place is clean and the servers are excellent. No I don't own stock. I just love Bob Evans.

Bob Evans will be a welcomed addition to TV. Have eaten at the one on 466 and it is good.
