Any rumors about Carbondale or even Marion getting an actual Chick-fil-A restaurant?   I'm dying for one.  And yes I know the student center has some little stand or whatever of it.

Mod Pizza is really good.  Really good addition to Carbondale, highly recommend.

Does anyone know if the micro-brewery is still planned for downtown? Last I heard, it was up for City Council approval for TIF, but there has been no other information since.

Harrisburg has one of the largest KFC stores,

I wonder what it would cost to open a Popeyes in Harrisburg?

I think a Chipotle would do very well in Carbondale.

Isn't there already applesbys, chilis and others in town?  CDale needed the return of Popeyes (it happened), needed a culver's (happening), needs a hooters (still crossed fingers) to bury bww, needs a good Cajun place, needs a really good bbq joint, and really really needs a Shipley's.

Not sure if this is the same thing you were referring to, but there is a brewery opening in Carbondale this fall: https://thesouthern.com/news/local/new-brewery-planned-for-downtown-carbondale-expected-to-open-this/article_29aba2d4-09a6-5313-8ca4-66a7f85dbaa4.html#

Mexican and Asian are over populated in Carbondale, El Paisano behind Murdale is worth a stop!

We are good on fast fish Long Johns, and opening of CAPTAIN D's. Burgers and shakes Culvers, Freddies, and Steak-n-shake have that market full.

Sugarfire Smokehouse would kill Bandana's and put a serious hurt on 17th St.(and run any remaining bottles of Barry BBQ sauce to the hills) 

Carbondale needs a Chic-Fil-A (not the student center stripped version)

 

Sugarfire and Chic-fil-A would put a dent in BWW's carryout, (now for hangout and watch game BWW will stick around a while)

What about a hooters? BWWs is prime for the picking.
