re: Pickle Bob's has closed in Bristow
I'm dismayed b/c I have gift cards I was saving for my daughter's birthday only we did something different for her. Okay, so is there another one in the area? Thank you. BTW, this web site is so informative.

There is one in Haymarket behind the Sheetz.

When is the dunkin donuts opening by the wegmans? Does anyone know of this date?

I was just by there yesterday and didn't notice one open, but word is there is a Dunkin' Donuts in the new supercenter WalMart at Manassas Mall.

The Dunkin Donuts sign is in the window near the Wegmans. I have seen workmen in there and it looks like they are making progress. No need to hit Manassas for your coffee and donuts : )

There's a new Walmart Supercenter at Manassas Mall?? I guess I need to check out Manassas more often. Does that mean they'll be closing the Walmart at Balls Ford/234?

They have already closed the Walmart at Balls Ford and 234.

Fabulous! That mean I can drive to the Home Depot without factoring in 10 minutes to cross in front of the Walmart.

What is happening in regards tot he 500,000 sqft retail on the other side of the Virginia Gateway? I do no see anything happening. Is it scrapped since the housing market slowed down?

I feel the same way.. That parking lot has got to be the worst planned lot in all of Manassas. Glad WM is gone!

Has anyone tried "Gunni's" in Manassas off Sudley at Iron Gate? I saw a sign there, and then I saw some coupon in the Clipper mag. Looks decent, but there's no website that I could find so I peruse their menu...

There is indeed. I will say that it is the nicest Wal-Mart I've ever been in, and, oddly, at times, it looks almost like a Costco. It's still a Wal-Mart, but it's spacious and has a good-sized grocery, probably a tad bigger than the Super Target. Not bad...

I inquired about retail space there. They have put the project on hold until the market gets better, possibly in 2010 or 2011.

Here's a url to the site behind Target that's supposed to be built: http://www.eyedesigninc.com/market_square/vag...

When you go to it, click on Market Square Retailers Wish List and submit your choices. It would be great to have Maggiano's or The Cheesecake Factory there!!
