Saw that they were moving to the Walker Center, and now that I see they are opened in there, that place is tiny. When I worked there, back in 2000-2003, that place needed all the space it could get. Now it looks like a mall kiosk. I also don’t think they will get the foot traffic in the new store like they did in the old one.
Also, does anyone know what is being built once they get the old building knocked down?
What happened? The internet.
What’s going in the old spot? A huge ass hotel.
JayS you took the words out of my mouth.
Damn thats sure to add even more traffic to an already congested main street
It is going to be an eyesore, and usually I don’t care about these things…stupid NIMBY mentality.
even more of a reason to avoid that area like the plague…
I guess it makes more sense as to why he unloaded the property, I’m sure he made a few million on it. I never saw any customers there anyhow, it always looked like they had employees cars parked out front to make it look busy.
Stereo advantage owns the walker center anyway so if they decide they need more space they can always add it. Will be cool to get a decent hotel in my neighborhood.
Mr Walker is slowly but SURELY booting EVERY tenant out of the Walker center. That’s his plan. The Pizza Plant’s lease is up in '13 or '14, I can’t remember what they told me. That will free up more room. I was inside Stereo Advantage 2 weeks ago, and it looks awful.
I feel so bad for the Pizza Plant owners. First, they got the boot from their Transit location so a Chipotle could go in, they then learned about 5 months later that they are being booted from Walker plaza.
“We are currently working with a national chain for the hotel and restaurant,” Paladino said.
geez I’m so surprised…
Yea, its bullshit. They are stand up folks too. Hate to hear about it.
Sucks for Pizza Plant.
Do they just have a little room with tv’s hung on the wall? I haven’t walked in there but I drove by today and it didn’t look impressive. Kind of sad looking actually.
When you first walk in there are 5 or 6 big screen tv’s with tiny little 5.1 setups in each. To the left are a bunch of desks where people are working. It looks and feels like an office cubicle in there.
have you guys not seen their new location? the old Atlanta Bread Company on transit by the sheridan overpass, its fucking boss. they’ll kill it…
Who wants to know a funny story about the Tony Walker name? The guy’s real name is Tony R****, he used Tony Walker anytime he signed into a sleezy motel to sleep around on his then wife. Dude is a total douchebag, his wife was fucking fantastic for her age, total milf imo
Wife is for sure a milf. I see her walking around my neighborhood all the time. I’ve heard rumors he was on a Coke trip too back in the day.
The turn around in that business is amazing. I’ve never seen so many people with such “cushy” jobs (atleast that’s what they want you to believe) that leave them all within a year or two.
They are wanting out of the personal electronics, which who can blame them? Commercial is where it’s at.
They can’t be doing that bad if they can still afford to advertise during Sabres games.
What does that have to do with anything?
