Runza
Sad day for Bronco's Fans. Looks like the Bronco's on 72nd St will be a Runza.

I think Runza has gone down hill recently...They are trying to be too "cute" with all of these new products. When I first moved here 7 years ago, I remember Runza solely as a greasy burger-joint (and Runza's of course, which I had no idea what they were). Now it seems like they are skimping their burgers and adding a wider variety of salads and deli-wraps. I guess they feel the need to follow every other fast-food chain in the country with this carb-counting fluff. If I want a salad, I will make one at home...Somehow these fast-food salads manage to conceal 750 calories and 50g of fat.
Oh well, at least you can still get a Triple Kong in Omaha...and an immediate quadrouple bypass afterwards.

No. We agree on this one. I haven't eaten there in 25 years. The French Fries used to make me sick an hour or so later. The hickory burgers were okay, however.jhuston wrote:So am I the only one who thought that Bronco's was horrible?
Seems like most of the locations I'm familiar with are closed... is Bronco's a done deal then?

LOL - Big E - that sounds very familiar. That same Broncos was lunch for us 3 or 4 days a week. Back then (mid 70's), they never watched the doors, we would come and go as we wanted.Big E wrote:I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I went to Broncos on 120th and Pacific when I was supposed to be in study hall on 120th and Dodge.

But the 72nd street location was my first exposure to Broncos. I'm sorry to see it go.

Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
A Runza is going in on the SW corner of 105th & Pacific, across 105th street from One Pacific Place. Did that Sinclair close?

LMMS Properties LLC to Eating Establishment 105th Pacific, 10505 Pacific St., $835,000.
Runza must have know I was moving to the area! Wonder if they are going to close the 50th and Center location and move here?

Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
I live just west of Happy Hollow CC/One Pacific Place, and they are wasting no time in leveling the Sinclair. I had always heard this was happening since about the time I moved back to Omaha (July), but good to see it's actually happening.
Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
So what happens to the old one on 72nd? That building is old, was Bronco's for ages.

Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
Hopefully nothing. They better keep Runza there, especially after Pacific Life moves to Aksarben Village.bbinks wrote:So what happens to the old one on 72nd? That building is old, was Bronco's for ages.
Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
According to Google, the 50th and Center and also the 73rd and Pacific are both 1.3 miles from the new Pacific Life building. Looks like you are good to go!skinzfan23 wrote:Hopefully nothing. They better keep Runza there, especially after Pacific Life moves to Aksarben Village.

Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
From some of the posts here I expected the building to be gone, but it looks like only the tanks were removed from this property.
Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
There's a new building permit for that address, so I don't see why the old gas station wouldn't be demolished.

Re: Runza replacing Sinclair (105th and Pacific)
I really miss that gas station/convenience store. Runza offers the wrong kind of gas.
Runza (50th & Center)
I thought we already had a thread for this, may be it was because we talked about it last time I was on Grow Omaha...
The Runza at 50th & Center is being town down and rebuilt. Been closed for a couple weeks now. Today they are putting up construction fence and one wall is already torn down and part of the parking lot torn up.

Re: Runza (50th & Center)
That one needed it. I was in it a few times when I worked near 24th & I80 and it was not a good condition building or layout.Brad wrote:I thought we already had a thread for this, may be it was because we talked about it last time I was on Grow Omaha...

Re: Runza (50th & Center)
I was in it last winter and wondering why they were kinda letting it go, but this explains it.
Are they completely tearing down the old one of just part of it?

Re: Runza (50th & Center)
Wonder if they will build the "new" design like is going up in Gretna. It is not done yet but looks different than anything I have seen anywhere. I was told by someone that works for the General that is on the Gretna project but is not working on THAT project that it is the first of a next generation Runza store.

On a Grow Omaha minute on KFAB they did say it would be the 2nd new design store in the state.
