New stores and restaurants in Bismarck

Bismarck has just been getting a lot of new stores these days. On February 7, Hobby Lobby opened in the old Dan's Supermarket building in front of Gateway Mall. On June 30, Home Depot opened right across the street from Menards. On Century Avenue near the Tyler Parkway exit by the Cracker Barrel, a new shopping center to be called Pinehurst Square is under construction. The stores being built at Pinehurst Square are Kohl's (opened October 6), Best Buy (opened October 21), Petsmart (opening January 28, 2006), Lowe's (opened November 18), and Dollar Tree (opening January or February 2006). A Texas Roadhouse restaurant opened November 21 at Pinehurst Square across the street from the Cracker Barrel. On the south side east of Kirkwood by the state penitentiary theyre building a Wal-mart Supercenter and a Sam's Club and they're also building a Walmart Supercenter on the north side of town two blocks north of Home Depot on Highway 83 which will open in mid to late April 2006. The opening date of the Wal-Mart Supercenters and the Sam's Club is late April 2006. They're also building a Johnny Carino's Italian restaurant. I have no idea when it is supposed to open or where its being built. They are also building a Gordman's which will open in summer 2006. I have no idea whereits being built, but all I know is they haven't started construction on it yet. Buffalo Wild Wings opened a restaurant in Bismarck this past spring on 3rd Street by Kirkwood. One store I hope to see come to Bismarck is Old Navy. Restaurants that I hope to see come to Bismarck are Olive Garden and Culver's.
