Highrise Tower Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I was researching Houston retail the other day and came across this old, now demolished, shopping center called Speedway Shopping Center. This is the current day HEB parcel on the corner of Buffalo Speedway & Bissonnet. Do we know who was the developer? I wonder the list of stores here? I can see: Hi Hat Cleaners Max's Beauty Salon Buffalo Pharmacy Barber Shop Records Lewis & Coker Liquor Store Does anyone recall this old retail center? Memories or pictures? August 24, 1964: This pylon stands on Buffalo Speedway north of Bissonnet, marking the location of the newly renovated and enlarged Speedway Shopping Center. Located on a five-acre tract, the center contains 38,000 square feet of floor space and its stores and shops offer a wide variety of merchandise and services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucesw Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Did Buffalo Pharmacy become Buffalo Grill? That was on the south end of the strip, facing Bissonett, as I recall. Seems like there was a Yamin's or Stephano's pizza/sub shop in there??? I can't place a Lewis and Coker, though. How quickly we forget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
