Still not the level of the remodel of the Lincoln store though!

Did the Lincoln store remodel or remodel and expand too? And how many locations does Lincoln have?

Lincoln has one Scheels location. IT is at Southpoint. They announced in December that the existing store will be replaced with one 3X it's size. It will take a couple years but the exiting store will be torn down The exiting store was new in 2000.

I believe there is more info on this int he Lincoln area of the Forum

The location that has been empty since Panchero's closed at VP will be filled by Fuzzy's Taco Shop.

Opening in Sept per their facebook page

Menu on the web site for the Lincoln location looks interesting. The Lincoln Location is at 1442 O Street

Anyone been there?

Interesting name for a restaurant

Ate at Fuzzy's tonight without any planing to do so. Happens to be in the are and drove by and said why not.

Had the chicken fajita plate. Not bad IMO and for the price it was up there Plenty to eat with three shells, a plate full of Fajita "stuff" and choice of two sides. I will go back.

Wish they'd remodel it to their new store design...it's super cool. They are even already doing it at Jordan Creek.

Jordan Creek Apple Store expanded into the stores on each side of it -- if not open it should be soon. Country Club Plaza Apple Store moved into a larger area and updated..... maybe Village Pointe is next.

Frankly, I think the Apple Store would be a better fit in Midtown Crossing or AV.

You may think that but as busy as they always seem to be it looks like there is nothing wrong with their location. No for a second location that may be good choices. 10 years ago when opened your suggestions were not really options if memory on time lines is correct.

A friend of mine works for Victoria's Secret and she said mall security told them that they had let some people from apple into the empty building to the west of VS - across the 'alley' - some time in the summer.

Apple is slowly going through their retial stores and updateding them to the new scheme and eventuallly they'll get to
VP. One of the changes is a new naming method it should be called  at Village Point. And given their current store is tiny it'll be about 1/3 the size of the DSM location I'd be shocked it they didn't find bigger digs.

The Ann Taylor store closed and the front is construction boarded up. Not sure if that store is coming back in or something new.

If I recall they were moving to a smaller bay somewhere in the mall because the rent was too high...

The Ann Taylor store is becoming a Soft Surroundings store.

The old Z Gallery/Love Couture store is becoming something. The mall won't tell us other tenants what it is though. The construction is only happening at night, but currently still in the demo phase. Anyone have any ideas??

Go check out the Apple Store thread in the "Rumors" section.

Any more info on this? They appear to be making a lot of headway and are even adding on to the back. Whatever this is is going to be a large space and a total overhaul of what was there.

Has anybody heard if they are redoing the VP Cinema so that all of the seats are the recliners like they have at Majestic?

I thought I heard it was going to happen or underway.

Nevermind. Just checked their website and it says the reclincers are coming to all auditoriums.

Confirmed.

Any idea what’s happening in the bays near the Scheels entrance? Think it was an accessories store next to Yankee Candle and Pandora. Plywood up on the outside and renovations are taking place.

Was this a Lululemon?

This was a location of the locally owned Periwinkles. (Now located in Bel Air Plaza)

The management company at Village Pointe usually paints or posters over the plywood unless it’s a very quick turnaround. The actual store space was pretty small and it will be interesting to see which retailer takes over.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:07 pm

I notice that Tradehome Shoes is going into Village Pointe, I'm guessing their store at Oakview is toast. 25k SF build out at $75k

Soooo here’s a theory. The Cheeseburger in Paradise location at Village Pointe closed a couple of months ago, with paper closed signs in the window. Recently it appears the signs have been removed.

Today, the downtown/Old Market location of LOCAL Beer, Patio and Kitchen just announced on Facebook they were closing the location due to construction and MUD water main breaks so they are moving to Village Pointe soon... seems the Cheeseburger in Paradise site would be a good fit and offers a large existing bar/patio in a good area right across from the movie theatre and near popular spots like Coldstone, Fuzzy’s, Paradise Bakery, and Firebirds. (My only other guess would be taking over the building that has been a bust for every place that gave it a go just West of Firebirds. RIP Mimi’s, Harrington’s, and Strouds.)

Not theory: The Coldstone location appears to be expanding and adding a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, similar to the combo location in the strip mall near Alamo Drafthouse in Papillion. There is a banner over the door of the bay which had originally was the GameStop, then a fresh Olive Oil place (not kidding), and finally the Simple Science Juice Store that recently closed.

Im sad that "CIP" closed... I wonder if they are all closed, or just that particilar one? I guess I could google them. Is that newer Baja Mexican joint still there (at the end of the mall near the theaters)? Loved that place.

They all closed but one I believe. The family of restaurants that ran them have other brands other their umbrella.

My daughter had a gift card that was purchased not long before they closed and I contacted them and they said they would refund the card if it was sent it. I did this some time ago and still have not heard back. Glad I kept scans of everything I sent it. Time will tell....

Do you mean Fussy's Taco. They are open. There is a location in Lincoln too that has been there longer. They are a chain.

I think that is it (especially the slight correction to "Fuzzy's" rings a belll even more). Its on a corner, so there are some outside tables, I remember. I ate there several times, and even took family/friends there. I think I even talked to the owner once when it first opened -- who is really nice. Me and Baja Mexican food always get along well...

They’re moving the coffes bar upstairs so it can be bigger, and doing something with the gift lodge.
