Dying inside? I’m really not Granola. We don’t want the population and the traffic that comes with it. And I have no doubt that the entertainment, dining, and retail options are coming. That Costco rumor only started last year when a current Brownsville city commissioner claimed on Facebook that the city is already in negotiations with Costco. And that rumored Macy’s maybe 5-6 years tops, and only because it was proposed for the uptown Brownsville project. Nah. I agree with Granola. As soon as the Pharr Costco was rumored, CC said they were getting one too. It's been open 12 years already. As far as Macy's, ya'll wanted a Foley's way back in the day too. You do remember what happened with Foley’s? Foleys had already announced a store for Brownsville at Sunrise Mall when Dillard’s said hell no and bought out the entirety of Sunrise Mall, and then Foley’s was snatched up by Macy’s after Dillard’s sold off the mall to CBL & Associates.

They also said that about Main Event. And when I say “they” I mean some of y’all on this forum. I remember the yapping about Dave & Busters. And this forum saying Main Event was the better option but your people wanted DB instead. Don't think anyone said it wouldn't happen over there. I’m not going to name names 😂😂😂😂😂

Nope. Didn't know Dillard's owned that mall. Dillard's tried their best to keep Foley's out of La Plaza Mall too but obviously lost out. Simon knows competition is good.

That’s why the possibility of D&B showing up in Cameron County is even more plausible now 😂🤣😂🤣😂
if a D&B and Main Event can exist in Hidalgo County separated by less than 5 miles apart, then they can both exist in Brownsville/CC as well.

Well Dillard’s was successful in keeping Foley’s out of Surerise Mall in Brownsville, and by default Macy’s because if Foley’s would’ve been able to build their department store Sunrise Mall it would’ve eventually been converted to a Macy’s when they bought out.

Really? I think it's less plausible. D&B came in gunning for ME business. But didn't. ME is packed most days, esp. weekends. DB rarely is. Location Location Location. Unless DB sets up far enough away, say Harlingen, maybe.

Nah. I agree with Granola. As soon as the Pharr Costco was rumored, CC said they were getting one too. It's been open 12 years already. As far as Macy's, ya'll wanted a Foley's way back in the day too. Truth. But who from Cameron County was spreading this rumor about Costco 12 years ago, officials form the city and/of county? Was this rumor being spread on social media 12 years ago? As afar as Foley's is concerned, they DID announce a department store for Sunrise Mall at the same time they announced one for La Plaza Mall......Foley's was already coming, but Dillard's stopped them dead in their tracks.
