Phillips 66/Del Taco Building May Lure National Chains as Pi Serves Up New Concept for Location

Developer Rick Yackey has unveiled initial renderings of a redesigned Phillips 66/Del Taco building, but those aren't the images that should have supporters excited. Local pizza juggernaut Pi is interested in the space for a new concept called "Pi Burger". Renderings by SPACEarchitects show a sleek modern redesigned Phillips 66/Del Taco. But a renovated building isn't the only idea they've floated. To reconfigure the area into a more walkable, attractive location for retail, Pi is proposing that Forest Park Avenue be brought to grade, eliminating the confusing and inhospitable intersection with Grand Avenue. A median in Grand Avenue would further enhance the streetscape.
