The corner by the Publix, Ace Hardware, Goldberg, Top Spice etc. is impossible to park at. I've skipped shopping a couple of times because there was no space. And if you find one a car with anything but a tiny turn radius is hell to fit in. Right angle turns isn't what cars do. Squeezing businesses with similar opening hours and lots of foot traffic into the same space is going to end up with some of them failing or not making enough profit to stay.

It has always been so good, and PA is mediocre at best. I have never had a meal at PA that I considered "good" on the occasions when I have had to go there.

As the owners, you can demolish half of the structures, pull up half the asphalt, and plant hardwoods. The remaining stores would be leased only to independent shop owners owners and they would have to agree to sell only locally produced products.

It is close enough to their customer base. It seems like they do a lot of parties - hopefully they have the room and parking to accommodate that.<br /><br />I do think they need to keep their food quality up though. We have gone there a few times and felt like the food was just reheated and not fresh.<br /><br />I will miss their old location. It was a very comfortable atmosphere and felt like a step back in time.<br /><br />I'm not happy with the changes to Toco Hill. I liked their different unique places. I think the new owners are going to over develop it and the parking lot won't be able to accommodate it.

According to representatives at both Violette and Petite Auberge, the two restaurants are "merging." The new restaurant will reportedly adopt the Petite Auberge name with Petite Auberge ownership managing and owning the building and the business. Existing employees at both restaurants will be offered employment at the new restaurant. There are currently no plans to reopen Violette elsewhere. <br /><br />Thank you all for your comments and readership.

Successful independent restaurants are such a rare breed. I hope they are successful at their new location but you never know. I'm not much of a French food fan but recently went to Bistro Niko and it was pretty good.<br /><br />So I guess they are going to replace those tenants with Show Carnival and a Mattress Firm? Maybe an Aspen Dental? Blecch.<br /><br />I grew up in Toco Hills and what Edens is doing to that center is really disappointing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-851135752383147182016-09-20T15:36:37.336-04:002016-09-20T15:36:37.336-04:00Why is Violette closing?Why is Violette closing?TheJohnPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-15549637994422537582016-09-20T15:25:23.759-04:002016-09-20T15:25:23.759-04:00What is happening to Violette?What is happening to Violette?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-40353271764798044052016-09-20T15:19:56.162-04:002016-09-20T15:19:56.162-04:00So is Violette closing?So is Violette closing?AJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-60001951808062751452016-09-20T15:16:47.368-04:002016-09-20T15:16:47.368-04:00What is happening with Violette?What is happening with Violette?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-47181482876706947212016-09-20T14:50:03.342-04:002016-09-20T14:50:03.342-04:00But where is Violette moving to?But where is Violette moving to?aaustellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956700575917805435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-71456235681655550942016-09-20T14:47:31.977-04:002016-09-20T14:47:31.977-04:00Is the nightclub still opening near Sams?
