Franklin Today reports that, after a long bout of silence, the first announced tenant at Shoppes at Wyndham Village is... Cousin's Subs.
That bar sure lowered, didn't it?
The lesson here is: Build a strip mall, get strip mall shops. Or "shoppes," as the case may be.

.... And no place for a $10 martini.

... And don't forget the 125 gas stations! Oh, and of course the Target.

.... and no new Buffalo Wild Wings like Oak Creek has.

What's with the horrible lack of communication from the shoppes developement? The website shoppeswv.com has not been updated in a year and a half and even that does not say anything that we don't already know. If a cousins is the first and only tenant announced then I would assume it will only get worse. Let me guess what will be announced next a barber or salon, pizza shop, cell phone store, tanning salon, some kind of hallmark or worthless junk store, or a karate school. How about a damn Suburpia instead. Their making a comeback.

Personally, i'd like to see a Starbuck's or a Pizza Hut on the outer shoppe ring.

Isn't there a Pizza Hut on 76th & Rawson?

You forgot to add "Payday Loans" to your "Shoppes" list Pat. That would be funny if it wasn't so completely possible at this point.

Greg, my comment was pure, 100% snark. Sometimes tough to convey that tone in intertubes machine format.

How about a "Cost Cutters" too.
Nothing says upscale like a vegamatic haircut.
