Carvel/Schlotsky's/Cinnabon

[sgrizzle]

I was somewhat excited to see what appeared to be three new businesses opening in front of Reasor's at 41st & Yale. There have been few new Schlotsky's (even though I don't eat there) and there is no Carvel Ice Cream store and no freestanding Cinnabon in town. It's now open so I went in to investigate it and was a bit dissapointed.

What I found was one door leading to a schlotsky's. The Cinnabon is nothing more than a warming tray of cinnamon rolls. The Carvel is nothing more than a soft serve machine and a tray of sprinkles.

I can only assume I'm not the only one who was a bit dissapointed to see that two businesses with their own discreet signs and advertising are really just about 6sq ft of countertop space at a Schlotskys

FMC and I saw that on Sunday but didn't go in.  I'd heard nothing of it and I find it rather odd there's been no mention of this venture, especially if it's something new trying to bring together several food options under one roof.  I drive by there regularly, and if we'd not been in the parking lot, I'd still not realize it was there.

I love Schlotzsky's but it's not something I eat often, glad to have one close to the casa.

I knew the Schlotzky's was there; saw a TV ad for it last week on "Six in the Morning".  Production value wasn't real high though, so there you have it...

Exactly the same for me except I was with PMT not FMC.

PMT?  Try and be a little more optimistic

I drive by there every day too/from work.  It always seems to be packed.  While I have not been inside, I like that they have taken a vacant site, remodeled, and made it into a nice place for lunch.  The patio on the north side of the location looks great.

Pregnant?

platitudinous ponderosity

I'm quite sure it's "present", oh wait, could be "permanent"  Let's hope.

We have a copycat in the house.  Sounds like him, too.

I don't remember him sounding like anything, it's just a cake.
