Fountain Square Tenants - HMMM?
Well, I've got a bit of mixed feelings about this... It's been a long wait for 5/3 to start naming tenants and their first attempt is a relocated Jones the Florist, and the addition of Cadillac Ranch, which is a rock and country music themed bar... it kind of has that kitchy Planet Hollywood type of theme... it's going at the corner of 6th and walnut.
If the previously announced Jeff Ruby/Bootsy Collins restaurant opens a block away at the former 'Za location, it could have a major impact on Cadillac Ranch's ability to survive.
I guess it's progress, but seems to be a big letdown... I was hoping for a Maker's Mark Lounge... wonder if that's still on the table.
UPDATE: Today's Business Courier has named Graeter's and Starbucks (oh boy, just what we need, since there is already about 5 downtown) will be in the former space of the Visitor's Center, and PotBelly will be moving in along the square at an unnamed location.
