Rumor on Twitter this week that Pink’s Pizza on campus is closing, landlord went way up on the rent. I know that was a really popular pre-game spot for a lot of us basketball STH, hopefully we get another good spot in that space.

How can you even do that? I know some of these places are doing 15k 20k a month. How can the justify that or another business justify that when it’s hard enough as it is to get restaurants to open there the entire time, I mean I don’t even think the nook bar is doing well.

They did this to Calhoun’s, Chinese Star and Jimmy Johns.
WHO IS GOING TO USE THOSE SPOTS IF THEY KEEP RAISING RENT?!?!

Nook is definitely not doing great. Taking over Calhoun’s space was a huge mistake.

The customer service and way they operate at Pink’s has regressed greatly, but that’s an entirely different subject. Crazy that the strip center owner has no snap! It should tell them something when a popular sub sandwich business and a Pizza restaurant / bar can’t justify staying open being located directly across the street from such a huge University Dormitory!

When I lived in the towers I envied the kids who could afford Itza Pizza even though I knew it was bad

Commercial tax rates been going up in Houston and Harris county. Passing those savings along to the tenants.
Average house price in the 3rd ward is 390k.
Rents just going up there
If Pink’s had closed when my kids were students at UH, they would’ve probably transferred out,
