Valley Ranch "Marketplace" District Update

@Kaa054 :
We don't have the craft store either. By home store are you talking Home Depot or Lowe's? There is a Lowe's up front.

peppermintstick :
No like the At Home Store
No the back doesn't have those either but would be nice not having to go to Humble, New Candy, etc for them. Up on the feeder where Joe mentioned would be great!

Joe :
And this is off the feeder so I don't see it increasing traffic as much as building in Kingwood proper

@Kaa054 :
Ok but the back doesnt have that either.

peppermintstick :
Edited my post while you were typing, LOL. I got excited when there was going to be a Town Center at the front. This a a few years back. I didn't know what happened. Walking around to the different places and then having the green area for just hanging out.

Txbutterfly : I agree with you! I would rather go up to 99 then have all that right here. I don't go to Humble for anything except Costco. Sam's club had a store at 99 and closed it after an extremely short time. I think they pulled out to early and I wish they would open up there again. Valley Ranch is not that far from here and it is nice to have all those stores so close to us.

TownHubAdmin :
It's going to be "concrete" over in that area.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA :
I suppose you have a point. Drawing more people to Kingwood to shop would probably increase crime, even though it would be nice to just walk.

Kingwood fights any development they could have had to turn the corner, and they also aren't the best at supporting businesses

@Kaa054 : It would be nice if they would put something in all the empty spots in KW. I don't really think they need to build more. They just need to fill up what is here.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA :
I wonder what the condition of some of these spots are after sitting for so long. Things don't seem to be built to last here vs. in other areas of the country where building are still in good shape after many decades. Sadly, whatever is being built now and so fast is probably being built cheaply as well.

@Kaa054 :
I do remember that . I think it was part of a plan with an inn. The original ones that were going to do that faced some challenges.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA :
Part of that Sam's is a liquor store. They are splitting it up. Said it was pulling too much from 1960. That's an area I avoid unless I need to go to At Home. I would like one of those closer.

brerich01 : At the time, Sam's Club was having major financial problems and closing a lot of stores...I bet they're kicking themselves now. When it first opened there was very little there, and not much traffic, but now that area is packed...

@Kaa054 : I am sure that's the reason they do a major remodel before putting in a new store.
