It was located at 303 Alamo Plaza and stayed in business until the 1930′s when it closed. The Grand was razed in 1954 to make way for the H. L. Green Department Store.
1986 Construction work begins on a "super deluxe" Burger King restaurant on the upper level of the Woolworth's building in Alamo Plaza (right), replacing the cafeteria.
