Fast Stop keeps on growing!

The retailer is adding the Hawkeye state to a far-flung footprint that also includes locations in Louisiana and New Mexico.

Fast Stop is growing in more than one way. I am thrilled to be apart of their journey. Mahmoud Ziadeh and his team are some of the most genuine, humbling, and gracious group of individuals you could ever work with.

The restaurants will feature the c-store chain’s Cajun-inspired fast food menu, which includes fried chicken, seafood, po boys and southern sides.

When I took on this project, it was very difficult to convince developers this piece of land was worth developing. With the help of my buddies at the ECI Group, we are able to bring this to life. This is just the beginning. With the apartment complex, it will bring us future retail which we all agree is much needed! Can’t wait to see a shovel in the ground!

The Waco City Council Tuesday will hold a public hearing on a request to rezone 25 acres for an apartment complex near Old Lorena Road and U.S. Highway 84.
