Olive Garden coming to Midland

via Midland Daily News

An Olive Garden Italian Restaurant will be a key component of a revamped Fairview Plaza across from the Midland Mall that the owner says will be full of tenants by next year. Billy Putman, whose Caro-based property development company bought the plaza in November 2010, said Olive Garden will be one of four to six new businesses to occupy the plaza by next year. He said he could not divulge who the other tenants will be, but said they will be a mix of national, regional and local businesses. Olive Garden will be located near Damon’s restaurant. Putman’s company, P&P Opportunities, owns the building that formerly housed Mattress Connection, a house behind it and the L-shaped parcel that includes Damon’s. Besides Damon’s, P&P owns the spaces occupied by several current businesses: Sirrine Appraisal, the Armed Forces Recruiting Center, Custom Creations salon and Spa, Steve’s TV, Career Uniforms, We Buy Gold and Saffron. The northern part of the plaza will be demolished because P&P wants a brand-new building, Putman said. The demolition will not include spaces now occupied by businesses.
