City Bites

[ETL]

Are they a national chain?

[Intrepid]

Thought it was going to be a Bueno due to the strange design

That side of town does need a Taco Bueno. I'm really surprised there isn't one of the east side of Moore.

I LOVE City Bites, but I hope the new store has better ventilation because the ventilation system on NW Expy is terrible! I can't get out of there w/o smelling awful the rest of the day!

I know a lot of businesses cut corners to get new stores open in a timely manner. Heck, I know a few construction companies who make it their business to do so, but it really does make a difference.

Are they a national chain?

Local, although they have tweaked their concept as to possibly franchise and or go regional/national. The new Edmond store on Broadway, and I would assume the new Moore store, would be very similar.

The HDQ is located on Memorial Road, just south of Oklahoma Christian.

I think it is because there is a Taco Bell already in place in that shopping center. I drove by there today to see how the construction was coming along. Plus, I grew up on the east side of Moore, so I wanted to see how much things had changed.

FWIW, City Bites is going to be closing the location at I-240 and Western, moving it to a new site at I-240 and Walker on the south side of the expressway.

Does anyone know when the new City Bites is going to be open in Moore?

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

That's pretty close to Jersey Mike's (who also has GREAT sandwiches), which is out in front of WalMart. Probably better visibility though.

Nice to have another spot to pop in for my fav, the pot roast tater

[MrZ]

A NOW HIRING message went up on their sign today. Hopefully it wont be too much longer till they are open!

Just read in newspaper it will be in Charlie Bean location.

[PennyQuilts]

Really? Well, I like their desserts but am sorry to see Charlie Bean going. I hung out there while I was in town in July using their internet and drinking their coffee - which was good. Do you know if the same people will be running it?

[granite]

Do you know if the same people will be running it?

I don't believe so... I think the owners of Charlie Bean will be continuing their online business. If I remember correctly, City Bites is owned by 4 brothers (last name Blevins).

what happened to charlie bean? i thought they did decent business.

any timeframe on the city bites?

[granite]

I'm guessing the economy shut them down... but I suppose only they would know. I think I read November for City Bites scheduled opening.

Mickey-D's ran 'em outta business, offering FREE coffee drinks with your breakfast. Every city, big or small needs a coffee shop - a place to sit, relax, talk to friends. Mickey-D's didn't think so.

City Bites...Yawn, go to Jersey Mikes, your taste buds and wallet will thankyou.

Haven't hit a CB in a long time, not sure why, just haven't. They seem to get by well enough without me though.
Do they still do a pot roast filled tater?
Do they still build the (odd to me) see-out facilities?

[PennyQuilts]

Do they still build the (odd to me) see-out facilities?

I can't imagine even considering that the see-out is only odd to YOU. I refuse to use them. Gives me the absolute creeps. Makes me shudder. Everytime I've gone in there, I have turned around and come back out. That is just wrong.

Wait a sec, what are you two talking about? See-out facilities?

[PennyQuilts]

At least one of them has one way glass in the bathroom so that when you are in there, you have a full view of the restaurant. You can't see IN (allegedly) but you feel like you are using the facilities in full view of the other patrons. No thanks!!

[nik4411]

oh wow that would be really creepy!

[so1rfan]

You mean you wouldn't use this one either?
