Punch Boutique in Piccadilly Square opened in September 2011 in a 2,000-square-foot portion of the former Provisions Gourmet space. The store has now leased an additional 1,000 square feet next door, said Catherine Grainger, assistant manager at Punch.

Speaking of the CMT building… Any idea what’s going on there? Tons of constriction and it looks like kudos awards shut down.
Back on the Rack had some awesome clothing and toys when I was in there. I recommend anyone with smaller kids going in for great deals.
Thanks for your comment Keith, I’ll check on this.
Sheila, I see construction on Williamson Road across from the southern-most 7-11 store. Any idea what might happen there? It might be something other than retail.
I know what is going on at the old CMT building, but I am not at liberty to say. The public doesn’t know for a reason!
Plus, it’s nothing exciting. Trust me
Do I see Lilly Pulitzer???
Hey there! I will check on it and let you know as soon as I find something out.
So Bryan why did you make a comment? Frankly as someone who lives near there I feel I have every right to know what is being built. Further more from what I can see it looks like cube farms are going up so I agree nothing exciting, but still should be in the public domain.
Dobbs:Dollar Tree is going across the street from 7-11.
Shelia, a little birdie told me that big lots is going in the old food lion on 220 can you find out
oh great.More junk in southwest!! I would rather see it vacant!!!!!
I don’t know Keith, maybe I just enjoy participation and discussion. Sorry to waste 2 seconds of your life…. Geez
But you are on the right track. A local business is relocating there.
Bryan sorry if I came off snarky wasn’t. Honestly I have a pet peeve about “I know something you don’t know” childish I know, but still. Further more my quest to found out sent me looking at city building permits and I found the parent co who asked for a zoning clarification and that took me to the company that’s moving there. All the notes on the permit line up with the bussines they do. The ticker blog here all but confirms who I thought I was per the city docs.
So I wasted waaaaaaay more time than 2 seconds. That’s what I get for neededing to know!
Hi Keith, I just found out that Source4 printing is moving into the CMT building on Brandon Road. Here’s the business website: http://www.source4.com/Pages/default.aspx.
