Spinning off another Antoine Drive entry, this particular address (8077 Antoine Drive) started out as Eagle Discount Supermarket (see Houston Historic Retail) before it closed in 1985. It was later taken over by Houston independent Foodarama before it moved in 2006 to the former Randalls at 7320 Antoine Drive, which Houston Historic Retail has covered in more detail. In 2011 it became DD's Discounts.
The rest of the shopping center doesn't have much going for it (beauty supply, daycare, FOUR cheap cell phone stores). The TitleMax Title Loans in the parking lot (8197 Antoine Drive) suggests a fast food past (most TitleMax places are in fact former fast food restaurants) but this one appears to have been a State Farm office back in the 1980s, and upon closer inspection the way the windows are built, and no drive-through/convenient parking seems to confirm the case.
