Alabama Furniture & Accessories’ 2-decade locale is getting cleared out for its planned redo, a neighbor notes. The building at 2200 Yale St. got a demo permit yesterday and started coming down later in the day. The site at the corner with 22nd St. is being cleared for another Braun Enterprises project: a third non-mobile Bernie’s Burger Bus location, as confirmed in October. The furniture store (named for its original 1992 location on Alabama St.) cleared out of its Yale home by the start of March, and has flown even further north to 4900 N. Shepherd Dr. between W. 43rd St. and Tidwell Rd.

Actually it’s a third location. There’s the original in Bellaire and the 2nd in La Centerra in Katy.
Good catch, Colleen! It’s been corrected.
Burger Joint counts soon to reach the ranks of Mattress Store numbers.
@HouCynic:
True, but I wouldn’t compare the two – I buy burgers way more often than I do mattresses, so I think this is a win.
