The Summit will be right across the road from Wal-Mart. Which is delightful.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

That boutique hotel across from the wal mart will CRUSH imo

The Summit will be right across the road from Wal-Mart. Which is delightful.

I'm expecting guard towers and routine police escorts from Chevy Chase and Beaumont.

To be fair, getting that close to Jessamine County gives me the creeps, so I understand where they are coming from

Do we really need an artisanal Soda Pop store? It's a f***ing soft drink.

We're doomed...

 

[BBdK]

Pretty sure it's popsicles, bub.

If you want to eat your simpleton freezer-aisle popsicles filled with corn syrup and other GMOS & "natural and artificial flavors", by all means steer clear.

 

[mashburned]

I am intrigued by this food barn place. Sounds like the perfect place for my gluttonous ***.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Go across the road and get some f***ing Fla-Vor-Ice, Clown smh

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Just sittin up here eating graeters

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Still the best.

 

[mashburned]

Does Doctor Boat own a luxury apartment at the Henry at The Summit - The premier abode for any discernible lexingtonian worth a ****.

I doubt Fayette Mall will suffer too much. They're regular clientele isn't exactly the type of people who usually shop at Arhaus, Brooks Brothers, Draper James, Frye, Whole Foods, Vineyard Vines, etc.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

The more "at"s in your home address the more worthy you are.

Fayette Mall crushes. Highest sales volume mall in the Commonwealth. It'll be fine.

The Summit will do okay... will be a damn mess for about 6 months, and will probably lose some of their first generation tenants before they figure the market out IMO (high end soft good retail in a secondary market :eyes. But, a ton of VPD and some decent demographics out that way. Nothing else to do in Lexington.

Pssh.

Typical f'ing commercial real estate salesman.




Meanwhile, THE INTERNET.

The place that's in trouble (if it wasn't already) is Lexington Green, they lost like 5 stores.

That being said the Lakeside Live concerts they started last year were a good time.

False, guy. There's a lululemon there.

Get real.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Retail is in trouble. Absolutely no question. But what The Summit is *trying* to do is what they need/have to do; create some kind of destination/experience for consumers. Now they need people to open their wallets and not just eat $5 popsicles on park benches... we'll see.

On a macro level I think this purge in big boxes is way overdue (obviously). Ridiculously oversupplied in most markets. But I would be careful not to lump them all together... many are doing very well and have shed some necessary overhead. Like anything else, there are winners in this.

It's one of the stores moving.

 

[BernieSadori]

There's going to be an ARIAT store in there. Buy a bunch of boots, ********.

 

[UKRob 73]

I'll wait for Anthony to chime in what the pretentious crowd thinks before I form my opinion.

 

[UKStoleMyFish]

There's been a Summit in Birmingham for years. Bayer (the Jewish fella who developed it) decided to do one in Lexington as well after spending time there with ex-UAB provost Eli Capilouto, another Jewish fella.

If you want to know what to expect, ask Clark or me.

(Here's what to expect: your wife will spend a ****-TON of money there. Enjoy.)

 

[TransyCat09]

I knew the Jews were behind this

 

[Century Cat]

the discerning and trend-setting customer.

Whomever this describes, and whoever aspires to this, can absolutely eat ****, IMO.

 

[mashburned]

It's the quintessential Lexingtonian, dickwad. A distinguished man of valor who also has a keen taste for craft popsicles.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

There will lots of places to buy pants, none of them khaki

 

[rudd1]

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Lulz at The Summit. Enjoy it fellas.

 

[Wrong]

(Here's what to expect: your wife will spend a ****-TON of money there. Enjoy.)

Do they keep everything or take **** back (eventually)?

 

[rudd1]

-cliff note version:
-recession + serious accident (had an employee flown from berea to uk hospital in a medivac...thankfully he survived) =demise of business. Thankfully im a highly skilled mfer and opportunities presented themselves...working for other folks is not so bad...and a lot less risk.

-wife has been dealing with serious (not terminal) health issues. Mayo clinic and what not. Persevering.

-no booze since November of 2011...dropped 30lbs. I look good.

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Rudd- damn.

Hopefully you won't be a stranger around here. We can kick a few people out to make room.

 

[Bonzo_Cat]

Damn rudd, sorry to hear that man. Hang in there...

...may be too soon to ask - you still have that sweet vintage jaguar with the V12 engine that plays nothing but Motörhead? Effing car was badass.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Trying to remember which of Dana's awful articles that prompted me to respond and get blocked by her. Seems like it came during the 2014 season maybe?

Atta boy. Would love to catch up at lunch.

Re: Summitt

I hate Nicholasville Rd and try to avoid it at all costs. I also hate stores. So it's fairly irrelevant to me.

 

[rudd1]

-first world problems boys...life is still pretty damn good.

-sadly the jag was traded for a volvo suv...it was badass...being a grown up is hard.

 

[anthonys735]

With Dana out I hope they don't pull my 2015 USBWA Poster of the year award.

They didn't "lose" them....Lex Green said seek life elsewhere. They are rebranding their selection of stores.

The Summit will be fine for 1-2 yrs and then owners will realize most of Lex doesn't shop at those type of stores on a regular basis. Out goes a couple and something new will take their places.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Bump for tits

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Out with the Brooks Brothers, in with the Chuck E Cheese, in other words
