Lazlo's - LaVista (96th and Giles)

[Coyote]

Telesis Inc. planning more restaurants in Lincoln, Omaha

Telesis Inc., the owner company of Lazlo’s and Fireworks restaurants, is pursuing an aggressive expansion plan, including a new Fireworks in Lincoln and two Lazlo’s in Omaha...

The company also has bought land in La Vista about a mile east of the new Cabela’s, where it hopes to put a Lazlo’s at some point in the future, he said.

Well that would put it right in my backyard!

Portal Plaza South or Protal Plaza or Shops on Giles????

Portal Plaza South or Protal Plaza or Shops on Giles????

My guess is Shoppes on Giles. I get the feeling that it would fit their scheme better than either Portal Plaza.
And - given their timeline it sounds about right.

I would like to see a Lazlo's at Aksarben Village. I would also like to see some of these Lazlo's actually brewing though. Good food the few times I have been there in Lincoln. I hear the one in Fremont has been quite busy since it opened.

[Coyote]

According to PropertyBanc (which I just posted on the Shoppes on Giles thread) one of the two restaurant pads has been sold. They have two restaurant pads there - one 10k and one 5k. I will try to repost some graphics over there.

I Checked with Sarpy County, nothing on the Shops on Giles yet.



I think it would be great for them to build by Cabellas in Southport West.

AWESOME!!!

This is great news. Lazlo's is SOOOOOO much better that the Yupstream

[midtown charlie]

Actually they are both good.

Just a Lazlo's update: They have purchased lots 1 and 2 in Mayfair (NWC 96th & Giles)

[Coyote]

Lots 1 & 2 are actually on the NEC of 99th & Giles - Between the Omaha State Bank and Centris Credit Union buildings. Together they add up to 88,000 Sq. Ft. (2.02 acres) which I thought was rather small - but their restaurant on West Center & 192nd is on 54,000 Sq. Ft. (1.25 acres)

[nativeomahan]

Boy I hope they open in LaVista. It would be close enough for me to hit the place at lunchtime. With all the money on the west side of Papillion and LaVista it is surprising that hardly any restaurants have opened. And the 99th and Giles location is only 3-4 minutes from I-80.

[jsheets]

At the Sarpy Hy-Vee Grand Opening, a Lazlo's guy was there giving out free samples of all of their beer. I asked him, and he said that the LaVista property has been purchased, and to expect opening around end of year to beginning of next year timeframe.

Thanks for the heads up. I love that place, but hate driving all the way to 192nd and W. Center.

Anyone have its current status?

[nebugeater]

Are there any legs to the mention in another thread that they were / are looking at moving the building from Fremont? All doable but seems pretty spendy. Maybe there isn't a market for the building and location in Fremont but it would surprise me if something wouldn't work in the Fremont location. There is a lot happening around it.

Is this the plot of land?

[Coyote]

That looks right. The NorthEast corner of 99th & Giles

[elwood]

Go Lazlo's go! Hope it comes to fruition...thanks Gents.

[tommy316]

Not anytime soon.

They built too much too soon. Like a lot of places.

[elwood]

Yikes! Thanks for the info...

The Proof:

[Coyote]

Any new news here? I just reread an old article from the Fremont paper about their closing the Fremont store. A friend had heard that it was mismanaged. It was always crowded. I am surprised that Mayfair has not taken off yet (Culver's I hope will help) . And losing Back to Guangzhou has hurt my corner area.

[nebugeater]

I am guessing that this location in LaVista will never happen for Lazlo's.

Earlier today they posted on their Facebook page a "did you know we have properties for sale" posting and a link to this.

http://www.telesis-inc.com/propertiesforsale.html


The property that own in Lavista is listed as for sale or build to suit lease.

So is the still empty location in Fremont, along with a second lot in Fremont.

A couple of other things listed too.

[nebugeater]

WOW

Knew this had been on deck for a while and did a search for this thread but untill I posted I didnt look that it is just a few days short of five years since the last post wondering about an update.

I like how it says that the "New LaVista" is west of Omaha.
