With any luck it will go over better than when Commander's Palace opened their Destin, FL location.

They do have the wind to their backs though. The economy is improving, Jackson is getting bigger, higher paying jobs are coming into the area.

That location was the pits for CP. Hot, sweaty tourists looking for a frozen drink weren't going to cut it and the lease fees are astronomical. There's a reason places like AJs make it there and it's because they owned the dirt before the dirt cost $10mil an acre.

I have always bet that if Commanders had opened in a place where you could park that was its own destination it would have flourished.
