Photo two for tonight takes us back to more recent goings-on in the Commons at Wolfcreek – and back to the “Wolfcreek” portion of the conjoined shopping center, to boot. In this shot we're looking at Memphis's first Dave & Buster's – something that I believe locals were pretty excited about, back when it first arrived just a few months ago, back in February 2018! That grand opening took place just shy of a year after D&B's foray into the Bluff City was first announced.
This location of the part-arcade, part-restaurant chain occupies most of the Commons at Wolfcreek's former Sports Authority store, which – as I noted in this photo taken back during its liquidation – was included in the first round of that chain's closures in 2016, before all Sports Authority stores ultimately wound up closing. A Skechers Outlet store, which you see on the left of this shot, also managed to carve a bit of space out from this location; I guess Dave & Buster's didn't need the entirety of the former Sports Authority's 43,500 square feet all to themselves.
The only thing that slightly worries me about Dave & Buster's taking over this former Sports Authority is that the chain is one of the few that's willing to take over vacated mall anchor space these days... and with Wolfchase Galleria directly across the street, in my mind this now limits the pool of willing occupants for the Sears store there once it inevitably bites the dust. Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen anytime soon, and in fact, I hope the Sears will continue to operate for years to come. I also completely understand Dave & Buster's preference to take over this store ASAP, especially considering that the uncertainty of Sears's fate could have meant a much longer wait for them to enter Memphis. But I can't help that that's simply where my mind goes to on this... :/

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
