I noticed that Countryside Village has absolutely no holiday decorations or lighting this year. This has got to be a first. Kind of sad.

A chain craft beer bar called The Casual Pint set to go in. Looks to be based out of Tennessee.

EDIT: Looks like they have a retail portion too.

The fastest growing franchise in the craft beer industry expands to the Nebraska market.
“With nine breweries establishing a substantial craft beer community in the region, the hops are brewing in Omaha and we thrive where the hops are” said Nathan Robinette, president and CEO of The Casual Pint. “Our first Nebraska location gives us another avenue with which to connect with fellow craft beer enthusiasts. We can’t wait to become a part of that community in Omaha.”

Each franchise features hundreds of bottled local, domestic and international brews as well as an ever-changing multi-tap wall for take-home growlers and on-site tastings in a dedicated bar area.
Kind of sounds more like retail with a bar area... :yes:

Agreed. Can't wait to check this place out once it opens. I drive by Countryside Village at least 5 days a week.. This would make a potentially nice diversion :thumb: ...

Lots of dumpsters and leased signs at Countryside. I bet it will be 75% leased when all this build out is done.

I got my acceptance letter from Countryside Village Art Fair and I noticed they have "Casual Pint" on the map. Its on the south side of the north building about in the middle. Its just a few doors down from Cedar. I drove buy and the liqueur license sign is already posted.

I'm a numbers cruncher and I'm having a hard time making the numbers work on this. You got 11 food trucks at this Food Truckathon. Lets say 1 truck don't make it so you have 10 food trucks. Now if each food truck charges an average of say $10 a meal and we want each food truck to drive away with at least $300 gross then each food truck will have to serve an average of 30 customers. Take that 30 customers times 10 food trucks and you have 300 people needing to attend this event for each food truck to gross $300. I dont know do you get 300 people to stop at that thing? :roll: Say you make 300 gross and then you deduct food costs and gas and cost of doing business. I dont see this food truck thing working out for many of those food truck owners but maybe my math needs adjusting.

You got the Pizza Ranchs, Golden Corals and the Casinos. The Casino buffets are a loss leader and there aint none of the Casinos making a nickel off the buffets. The Golden Coral on 72nd and Sorrenson and the Pizza Ranch on 84th and Center are losing money or breaking even at best. So yeah the buffet business is pretty tough too. I dont know the numbers but I would imagine those buffets have to serve at least 250 meals a day to break even and that aint easy.

2 items:
-Food truck rally postponed due to rainy forecast.
-Adam Michael Jewelery going out of business. That's going to leave another hole in the front row of shops, and make this shopping center feel even more empty. While I love that they're bringing in new businesses (Casual Pint, Cedar, Timber), they're really upsetting the apple cart, and forcing out many of their longtime tenants, and ending up with net lower occupancy...

You can find us on Saturday on 87th & Pacific, along with Scotty's go-go and Hawks pizza! Rain can't stop the food truck rally!!!! There will be a place indoors to eat and have drinks.

The abbreviated food truck rally actually went pretty well considering the back and forth and only three trucks. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it another go.

I heard that "Timber" ran in to a few zoning issues with their wood fired grill. Apparently they got some waivers and things should start rolling soon.

Not sure where that picture is from, but I don't think it's inside countryside....

Doesn't look like much progress has been made on that space yet ...

A little google image search tells me that that pictured grill is from Bazaar Meat at the SLS Las Vegas. There is a photo of it in the story I linked below and if you do an image search for the exact image from above you will find the same image a few places on the net that tie it to this restaurant.

Probably will not see one of these at Countryside Village

Nice! I was wondering what the dumpster was doing out front of Broadmoor the last week or two. I was going to ask on here, but kept forgetting.... Thanks for the info.

It's official, and construction has begun on "Swartz's Delicatessen". Also, work on "The Fold" - not sure what type of business this is, on the front row of businesses.

Sadly though, it looks like little to no work has happened in either the Timber or Casual Pint spaces. Something must be up with Timber, as I noticed they had to refile/post their liquor license application notice (as of 7/25), so I wonder if there was a need for additional investors...

Briefly met the owner of Swartz's this weekend. Construction on pace for an Oct 4 opening. Love how it was the last place announced, and first to open, of the recent Countryside additions.

Also, website is up: http://swartzsdeli.com/ Promises to be about as authentic a Jewish deli as can be had. It'll be interesting to see if they do their own bagels, or if they partner up with Bagel Bin...

Doing their own is the plan, as well as all the meats.

Per Countryside Village's FB page, drywall was delivered on 9/9 for the build out, so slow progress is being made. From looking at Casual Pint layouts elsewhere (its a franchise), after the keg fridge is built, its basically just a big rectangular box of a store with coolers, shelves, and bar, so if they're actually doing drywall now, it shouldn't take them long, as there's really not much to be constructed, as I'd assume the cooler/tap system, and all utilities are already in.

Does anyone know if the Oct 4 date for Swartz's Deli is still a go ?
