Car washes, like storage units, are a "modern, easy" money making opportunities. The style of the proposed rydell one posted above, was "recently" opened in Fargo also.

Hasn't it been like three or four years?
-
Which puts it in the same range or as a larger employer than Cirrus aircraft in GF. If not yet, it will be. PS Industries has continually expanded its shop in the Industrial park. And each time they think "this is it, we'll overbuild now and be set for a decade plus." Only to run out of room a few years later. I think this might be the fourth or fifth time they've added on to the building now.

Most forgot about GF Restaurants? 1. Perkins 2. Moon .....I can't remember the others.

Alerus is getting a new turf next year.

Looks like Mayor Brown agrees with me. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/government-and-politics/4048082-Grand-Forks-mayor-says-hell-veto-32nd-Avenue-bridge-spending

The plot of land where the frat is being build has sat empty for 15+ years after the old one was torn down.

Why Taco John's has seen changes in GF: New ownership. https://www.grandforksherald.com/incoming/4031941-Gateway-Drive-Taco-Johns-closes-plans-to-reopen

From your link: There's 20 more jobs from one company in one year.

Drove out to the airbase today. I noticed just outside the gate they are building a big new commercial building. Add that to the other shop space that was just completed this spring across from Cenex. Two new buildings in an area that hasn't seen any new construction in decades. Wonder if it's cause of the new UAV park?
-
The biorefinery I listed will add 25 jobs. Simplot freezer will add 30. People investing money in commercial property's like strip malls on S Washington (and the three new commercial shop buildings being built next to Hobby Lobby) probably have a better grip on the local economy than armchair ones. The 500 people that Grand Forks adds every year are working somewhere. (Obviously not all are "working age".) New hugos. New eye surgery facility. I mean I could go on and on but whats the point?
-
It's like saying the roads in Grand Forks lost $6.2 million last year.
-
Here's some more new or expanding businesses:
-
Not all have store fronts or actually physically expand. Off the top of my head currently under construction are a new church, ironhide equipment, simplot expansion, new plant by CHS on 42nd, New strip mall on South Washington. Im sure theres more than that this year in GF. Lots of industrial businesses that aren't on main thoroughfares or get articles in the newspaper.
-
Which got me thinking. How many different buildings have the word Acme on them in Grand Forks? Five?
-
Did I miss what they did with the "old banners"? That set will probably fetch a pretty penny at the Gala as the "last (and only) Ben Brien Sioux logo hockey championships banners" and the ones that first flew when the new Ralph opened.
-
One of the hottest restaurants in Grand Forks: Northside Cafe. Parking lot is always full during lunch. Or maybe it's all the construction workers expanding Simplot nearby.
-
Grand Forks grows by about 800-1000 people per year. It is what it is. That's usually about 5-8 new large apartment complexes, 50-100 houses, and 4-6 new businesses (and/or existing ones expanding). One new business being built right now is just off the interstate and 32nd ave next to Revolutions Power Sports. Anyone know what it is?
-
For sure. I'd like to see some Naturdays too added.
-
Moser would tell you it sounds like the NDUS President isn't happy that UND is going to get a nice new Union and says UND is going to be more of an online ed school soon so they don't need a new union.
-
Well that's odd.
