Beef O' Brady's to bring new jobs, family fun and good food to Palestine

Beef O' Brady's to bring new jobs, family fun and good food to Palestine

(PALESTINE, TX) – Armed with a refreshed menu and new prototype design, Tampa-based Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, the 213-unit franchise of family sports pubs & restaurants best known for great food and the ties it builds with its communities, has identified Palestine as a key component to the company’s growth strategy in Texas. 

Demographic research, brand recognition within the state and other factors make Palestine an ideal market for further expansion of the franchised restaurant concept.  While the demand for family-friendly eateries continues to grow throughout Palestine, providers are limited.

“While there’s definitely a market for Beef ‘O’ Brady’s in the Palestine, we’re taking a careful approach to finding a franchise partner with business savvy, tenacity and a readiness to reinvest in the communities they serve,” said James Walker, Chief Development Officer of Beef ‘O’ Brady’s.

TPWD to alter catfish regulations on Lake Palestine

TPWD to alter catfish regulations on Lake Palestine

Released by Texas Parks and Wildlife:

AUSTIN – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will not recommend any changes to spotted seatrout regulations this year, citing no biological urgency and split reactions to potential length or bag alternatives during public scoping meetings and in online angler surveys.

Recent declines in relative abundance of spotted seatrout in some of the mid-coast bays led TPWD to open discussions regarding possibly implementing additional conservation measures for other bay systems.  “We’re seeing increased spotted seatrout recruitment in many Texas bay systems and our creel surveys are showing fairly high angler satisfaction levels,” said Robin Riechers, TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Director. “We opened the idea up for discussion at public scoping meetings and saw no compelling reason to move forward with a proposal at this time.”
