Addictions in Ink Tattoo and Piercing to move to former Horn space

June 29, 20125:00 a.m.

WICHITA — There’s a new occupant for the former Horn at Kellogg and Tyler, but it’s not a bar.

Addictions in Ink Tattoo and Piercing is opening in the space the second week of July.

The shop is near the northwest corner of the intersection already, but manager Ryan Knoll says it’s hard to see.

“It’s real hard to find,” he says.

“The Horn’s been there forever, and it’s easier to explain to people where it’s at.”

Addictions currently has about 1,100 square feet. The new space has 3,700 square feet. That means there will be room for more artists and piercers along with a new salon called Curl & Dye.

“It’s something (owner Bryan Parsons) has been wanting to do for a long time,” Knoll says. “We’ve just never had the space to do it.”

Subway Sandwiches is George Holland’s first tenant at his new retail development near Kellogg and Tyler

May 2, 20123:55 p.m.

WICHITA — George Holland of Holland Ventures has landed his first tenant for the cow town-themed development he’s starting on more than 11 acres near the northwest corner of Kellogg and Tyler.

Subway Sandwiches will open in 1,400 square feet later this year.

Holland says Subway spent a “long time conversating back and forth” on the deal.

“They’ve been talking to me since … 2001,” he says. “We’ve been trying to get something going.”

Initially, Subway wanted to buy property, but eventually the chain settled on a long-term lease instead.

Leon Moeder of Moeder & Associates helped handle the deal.

Two retails centers coming to Kellogg and Tyler have a temporary cow town theme

Sept. 26, 201110:36 a.m.

WICHITA — Last month, Have You Heard? reported on two new retail centers George Holland is building on more than 11 acres on the corner where the Horn bar sits and where his Holland Paving and Holland Ventures offices are.

Since then, though, readers have been wondering what’s up with the cow town theme the development has.

The buildings that have gone up so far look as if they’re off the set of a western movie.

Holland would rather not discuss details of where the buildings came from.

Hint: Think about what short-lived business was forced to have a fire sale of western buildings a few years back.

Holland eventually plans to renovate the buildings.

“We’re going to make them storefronts,” he says. “We’re not going to make them shootout galleries.”

Holland may have details on his first tenant, a national business, within 10 days or so.

“The deal’s in the works.”

Northwest corner of Kellogg and Tyler to be home to two new retail centers

Aug. 2, 20115:22 a.m.

WICHITA — After a false start a few years back, George Holland is moving ahead with two new retail centers near Kellogg and Tyler.

Holland owns more than 11 acres at the corner, including property where the Horn bar sits and where he has his Holland Paving and Holland Ventures offices.

“It’s time to build,” Holland says.

He plans two retail centers, one that’s 4,500 square feet and one that’s 3,000 square feet, under the name Holland Plaza.

Holland looked into building previously but had trouble attracting interest from potential tenants.

“We just never brought anybody to the table to sit down and make a deal,” he says.

Though he doesn’t have any contracts yet, Holland says there is interest this time around.
