Could A Defunct Grocery Store Make A Return To Texas?

There's plenty of places to shop in Texas isn't there?

From big brands to local businesses, there's a shopping area for everyone to enjoy. With so many options, everybody has their top choice to go to for a certain item. But when one place becomes the place everyone goes, others are lost in the shuffle.
