Brickfair Questions/Help Needed!


Takuma Nuva

412 views

Are there any nearby *grocery* stores?

 

What sort of fast food options are in the area?

 

 

 

Furthermore, we just want to make sure there's nothing we haven't planned for that we need to.

 

We know how we're getting about (more-or-less) from beginning to end.

 

We have a good idea of what we should pack.

 

We're in the process of figuring out all the food (almost there).

 

We know where we're staying.

 

Anything we're forgetting....?

 

HELP!

There's a convenience store near the Hyatt, which is a ways away. That's where I'm staying, at least. There's also at least a Burger King, Taco Bell, BBQ place, and an Applebees closer to the center, if I'm not mistaken.

 

There's food at the center, too, but it's con food, so under-quality and over-priced.

They just built a Walmart next to the center... Didn't I mention that to you already?

 

There's Taco Bell (which I recommend not eating), Wendy's, Arbys, and a host of other fast food places right across the conventions parking lot and next to the Holiday Inn. There's also a food place in the Hotel, although I've never had food there.

There's a Costco just up north a ways from the center. 14390 Chantilly Crossing Lane.

 

Alternately, there's a Giant a bit East on Lee Jackson Memorial Highway. 13043.

No, unfortunately. There's fast food places in walking distance, but the actual stores you would have to drive to.

Walmarts aren't grocery stores. We're aware of the Walmart but we want to know if there's a *grocery* store.

It's a Super Walmart, those are full grocery stores.

Here is an excerpt from a review Ken C. wrote about this Super Walmart:

 

Clean and modern, this is the only Supercenter that I'm aware of in the immediate area.

 

The grocery section is full of fresh fruits and vegetables. There are also plenty of non-perishable goods, from soda, to chips and Pop-Tarts.

 

There's a Subway inside, which is nice if you like Subway (I don't).

 

Who is Ken C.? No idea. But he wrote a review for this particular Super Walmart, gave it 4/5 stars, does not like Subway, writes reviews that are very well though out and thorough, and is a huge Star Wars fan, so I respect his opinion (and will probably spend a good amount of time getting food from this Walmart, because restaurants like to lace things with dairy and I don't want to spend the week in a half-awake, dairy-induced stupor).

 

Awesome!
