Einstein Bros. Bagels Opening Downtown Location

[Callahan]

I think every Einstein Bros. hours are 5am to 5 or 6 pm Monday thru Friday and 6am to 3 or 4pm Saturday and Sunday. They are not the dinner crowd or the after last call try to soak up the alcohol before you go home crowd.

The 71st & Yale Einstein is scheduled to open tomorrow.

Plans for downtown location are done and submitted to city for review and permits.

The banner for Einstein Bros. Bagels went up on the SW corner of 21st and Columbia (Midtown / Bryn-Mawr).
It replaces a recently demolished gas station, is nestled in a bunch of office buildings, and almost spitting distance from the closed Borders Books.

I ate at the one on 71st a few weeks ago and it was O.K.  It had been years since I'd had an Einstein Bagel and I didn't remember if they were boiled or frozen.  But it was clear from the porous almost bread like texture and rubbery skin that these were not boiled fresh.  I always liked their coffee and some of their spaces are nicely done.  I will patronize them since they are committed to coming downtown. 

I am aware of the bagel shop in Brookside, but unfortunately I never seem to be in B-side during their hours of operation.  Are there any other bagel options of note in town?

A friend lives right by there and is glad to see that vacant gas station replaced.  Hoping the old Border's gets a new life soon, maybe as a small grocery store.  If Trader's Joes expanded to Tulsa it would be a good first location near a lot of wealthy neighborhoods.

They finally took the Border's sign down.   Not sure what that indicates

When TJ's does come to town they'll likely have only 1 location.  They typically don't operate multiple stores in pure markets of this size....but I'd agree this would be a great location for them.

I've never been to a Trader Joe's, but in the Border's location, I would think the second floor would be a problem. Yes?

I think this is about the time Teatownclown/Aox/FOTD would have inserted some sort of demeaning comment about obese people.

And here I am just wondering about shopping carts.

Were shopping carts an issue when it was Borders?

Borders has an elevator.

Did people normally buy enough books to require a shopping cart?

If they had, it would still be a Borders.
