Welcome back Spicy :)

 

As we've asked in previous threads, would you care to provide some reasoning to back up those numbers :)

 

He's just pulling numbers out of the air...  How could anyone possibly predict those percentages with any accuracy??  Yes other businesses will likely feel the impact (mostly Mexican food joints) but that is OK.  Competition is a good thing. 

 

I still don't see anything on the OP's link that indicates a Folsom location is going in however. I type in 95630 area code and it returns a lot of locations in the Sac area with addresses but all I see is a red star in Folsom.  No address listed or anything else.  Am I missing something?

I can't find anything to confirm that's what is going in either.  They are doing a lot of work on the building so they are preparing it for something.

I believe they were in Folsom many moons ago (Raley's Center, where the CU is now).  They went out Boston Market came in, then a series of diners, now a CU.  They are good, just very sparse in this area.

Boston Market was the first tenant in that building.  It did become a series of diners after that and now the credit union.

There used to be a Pioneer chicken where BJ's Cinnamon is, there used to be a Burger King where Jimboy's is, there used to be an Arby's where Adanberto's is, but never an El Pollo Loco in Folsom.

I remember when there wasn't much of anything on E Bidwell between H50 and the Arby's and Burger King. We were so happy when they started building Home Depot! Now, there's not much that we have to go farther down the hill for. On topic, I still don't see any confirmation of an EPL coming to Folsom. I think they would do very well if they did.

there was a pretty darn good Asian buffet where Adanberto's was.  it was put out of business by a not so good Asian buffet where the emergency care place is now.  then the second one folded too.  dang it.

The first time I went to the Asian buffet where Addie's is, it was great. Full, lots of selections. The last time I went, very little food out. It was obviously not doing well.

 

Too bad. 

 

I'm not a big buffet guy, but make an exception for seafood and Asian.

I'm showing my age, but I remember when McDonalds on Wales was pretty much the end of town until we watched the Raley's center being built.

 

I tried that Asian buffet, but I must have gone when Steve did, because I wasn't impressed.  Never tried the one in the old Lyon's location.  Speaking of the old Lyon's location, I think the Save Mart center can probably take down the sign at the driveway entrance that says, "No Lyon's parking."

THey should have found a location closer to the Palladio.  Other than Chipotle and I guess that Freebirds place (don't really care for it) there's really not much else out there.  Bidwell is flooded with Mexican joints in that area.  I can't see how they can all survive being that close together.
