WanFu closed down. I'm sad. I really liked their sweet and sour chicken. The sign on the door says they merged with TaiLi. I'm not sure how that works recipe-wise....but, I'm not a fan of TaiLi.

That shopping center is losing tenants lately: the foreign language school, Veron's Meat Market, The Fish Place, the gun store, and WanFu. They need to step it up, update it, maintain it, and do right by their tenants.
 
[ ADMIN: The property owner of this shopping center has contacted Atascocita.com with some more information. He says that WanFu is closed for remodeling but will be opening again in the same location shortly. The other couple of companies who have left recently have done so for reasons outside of his control, for example, for health reasons or internal management difficulties. Air conditioning should be working and the A/C levels (and expense) is up to individual tenants to control. He says he takes pride in maintaining and improving the condition of the center since he took it over. ]

It does need to be maintained and updated... Every time we were in Veron's or even Fish Tales it was too hot like the AC wasn't working!! I think the guy from Veron's posted that the owner of the center was really increasing the lease prices... Wonder how long the new seafood place in Fish Tales old location will make it...

I'm pretty sure they didn't do their research on that old fish tales location.

Not sure But when almost all of them have been failed seafood places, you have to question the people giving out loans to build yet another.
 
I sure hope the new guys make it. #breakthe streak

I don't see why the landlord would rather have empty buildings vs. lowering the rent.

@B12Fan : And you also have to wonder about the remodeling that seems to happen. Personally, I would do as little as possible and just OPEN!!

Does anyone know how many restaurants have been in that location where Fish Tales was?

Not sure. When I moved here (2005) it was a Subway. And, I was told that it was Romano's - the precursor to Italiano's - before Subway. (The guy who owned Romano's moved from there to the present location to expand, then sold out to his sister, who changed it to Italiano's). And, since Subway, I remember a Cuban sandwich place, and of course Fish Tales. I know that I am forgetting someone, but .....
 
And it has spent a little time just empty.

There was also ( VERY briefly) that place called "Landing Zone" or something like that. It closed before we ever got a chance to go there!!

Before Fish Tales it was a Country Home Cooking kind of place. I think it lasted only a couple of months.

Subway was where Javaman is. The Italian place was further over as well. The Fish Tales used to be a coffee house type place.

Establishments in this center need to advertise, advertise, advertise. Proper marketing would alert more neighbors to their existence, otherwise they are hidden back there. The restaurants should get more involved in the community, sponsor school spirit nights, sponsor some little league teams. Don't skimp on the marketing! Offer great coupons to get people in the door, then let the awesome food and service keep them coming back.

That corner restaurant location was also a tween/teen dance club many, many, many years ago.
