Biz Buzz: More restaurant news
I saw a sign advertising a new restaurant coming to the strip mall at 14th and Superior that has the Ace Hardware and CVS. It will be called the Hog Pit BBQ and Pizza. It looks like it's going in on the far south end of the mall. That's all the info I have.

Planet Sub near 14th and P has closed, although a sign inside its lobby says its location at the UNL student union remains open. That's at least the fourth downtown restaurant in about three weeks to shut its doors.

Biz Buzz: D'Leon's goes down
How tough is it to bring a new restaurant to O Street between 14th and Centennial Mall? Well, D'Leon's, which seemed as sure as death and taxes, has become the latest casualty.

Biz Buzz: Roost flies the coop
I'm about a day or two behind on this, but Roost has closed. I'm assuming it's for good, because the place was being gutted today. Chairs and tables were gone and kitchen equipment was sitting out in the dining area.

Biz Buzz: Sandwich shop news
I have it on good authority that Five Guys Burgers and Fries is actively looking for sites in Lincoln. Don't know any more details than that, but don't be surprised if you see one pop up in the next few months.

Biz Buzz: South Lincoln car dealership
While I don't know if there's any truth to the rumor going around that there might be some long-sought after businesses eyeing the Wilderness Hills shopping center at 27th and Yankee Hill where Kohl's is, I do know for a fact that something is planned just to the east of there.

Biz Buzz: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Monday was supposed to be opening day for Toast, the new coffee shop/cafe/bar in Fallbrook. Toast has Mill coffee, a deli and a full bar. Sounds like it's trying to be a lot of different things, so let's hope it works out. Though there aren't that many people living out there, there are a…

Biz Buzz: Booze coming to a Walgreens near you
Walgreens announced Wednesday that within a year to 18 months it will have alcohol in its stores. It will only have beer and wine, not hard liquor. Walgreens used to sell liquor until the early 1990s, although I don't remember the Walgreens here having booze.

Biz Buzz: Another new Verizon Wireless store
There's remodeling going on in a former Godfather's Pizza location next to Blockbuster just north of 27th and Superior. A $300,000 building permit filed last week indicates its for Verizon Wireless. I'm guessing that means the Alltel store across the street is going to go bye-bye.
