I read about Benderson bringing a Marriott Courtyard downtown this morning. I did not see anything about Dino but it would be great either way.

They looked at the old 78\* location on transit a year ago or so, but said it was too pricey

I thought Ikea released a statement basically saying they didn’t want to move to Buffalo.

Ikea USA has a minimum population requirement for the metro areas they would consider for a new store. Buffalo doesn’t meet their minimum requirement.
IIRC the requirement was 1 Million, but they use some odd measurement other than actual census data for a metro (Buffalo Metro in 2010 was around 1.1 Million).
EDIT: The requirement is 2 million in a “media market”

There’s 3 Ikeas in the GTA. From what one of the employees told me, Burlington is the “small” store.

> BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Syracuse-based Dinosaur Bar-B-Que restaurant chain has set its sights on yet another location, this one in Buffalo. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que officials have confirmed the move.
> The company revealed its plans at this weekend’s Taste of Buffalo event. They say they hope to be up and running in the Queen City by fall of 2013.
> “We’ve been trying for a while, and things are falling into place, and we got a spot in mind, but we’re on the five yard line,” said Scott Stevenson, Dinosaur BBQ Kitchen Director.
> Dinosaur Bar-B-Que opened its first location in Syracuse in 1988. Other restaurants have since opened in Rochester, Harlem, Newark, New Jersey, and the Capital Region.
