Title: Vespa Dealership to Open on Hendricks Avenue.
Post by: stephendare on June 20, 2008, 04:14:34 PM
News coming in from Petra management that an actual Vespa dealership has signed to open on Hendricks.

Some may remember a scooter dealership a few years back that handled Vespa, but this will be the real thing.

Look for a Fall Opening.

In an existing building or the building going up on the corner, directly across from Panera?

That area is shaping up to be nice and should get a boost when the Kings Avenue Station project is completed.

Here's the Cesery Building:

Being as Tim Hall owns JackRabbits, I wonder how he will feel about Cesery "refacading" his building.

Im back in town now, but thanks for your concern. What "led me to that conclusion" was
QuoteThe Cesery Company... ...is also finishing the renovations right down the block and they are refacading the horrible exterior of Jack Rabbits.

Tim Hall owns his building, and Cesary wont be "refacading" it. That was more my point.

You seemed pretty concerned about me being out of town for a few days, perhaps that I had forgotten what was going on in a building that I drive by daily.

Now, back on topic, where is the Vespa place going? Panera is across the street from a building that is just going up, and the library, and katty corner from a quickie mart. Where would the dealership go?
