No surprise–there are too many frozen yogurt shops for our small city to support in my opinion.

@debbie how many brewery/restaurants do we have in Roanoke? I can count one, growlers. There is a market, whether you agree or not.

Are there no innovative restaranteurs in this valley? How many more brewery/restaurantes do we need!

Amanda – did the “Generations” medical uniform supply store (next to Sweet Pete’s) close also? It was owned by the same folks…

cr, I’ll buy my shirts and slacks at Goodwill for $3.75 a pop…most times they are brand names like Izod, Lands End, and Van Heusen and so far, of what I’ve bought, they’ve lasted nicely because they were close to new when I got them. I just can’t see dropping big money on clothing any more given what I’ve been able to scout at thrift shops.

Great! just what this valley needs another brewery and restaurant!! Although tired of seeing that property sit. Hopefully a developer will get hold of it soon!!

@Bryan: Interesting. I will call the bank and see if they will say anything. It is unlikely they will unless the deal has been finalized, but it is always worth asking.

Well RM no need to worry they gone now and not likely coming back! Get yourself over to Choptle and give them a try.

Grapevine is telling me that Valley Bank is in talks with a brewery/restaurant for at least part of the old Ukrops. We shall see. That place has sat empty for WAY too long.
