Flyway adding more glitz to its lineup

In a previous newsletter, I mentioned how the Great Wolf Lodge resort in Webster is starting to look like fun, and now it seems like Flyway is starting to really take off.

The 80-acre staycation/entertainment/hospitality outdoor and indoor multiplex has added some more glitz to its lineup.

A few weeks after the opening of Chicken N Pickle comes confirmation that another tenant with celebrity ties is coming to the 80-acre staycation/entertainment/hospitality outdoor and indoor multiplex.

Tiger Woods is a co-owner in the PopStroke company, just like Chicken N Pickle is backed by NFL players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

Both of these buzzy brands will play a big role at Flyway, and Katie Vela, from the city of Webster, predicts PopStroke will make a splash when it opens.

As an onlooker, a resident, or a commuter, you don't really see it at first: the blueprint of an idea.

Then come the renderings, the breaking ground, the construction site, and it all starts coming together gradually.

Are you excited about Flyway and Great Wolf Lodge and what they will bring to the Bay Area region? If so, let me know.
