Crain Highway Retail Center Tenants

Here are the Tenants we have so far for the Crain Highway Retail Center.  Most Tenants have begun their build out and should be opening in four months or so depending on the amount of building they have to do.  We still have two spots left on each end cap for other tenants.

New Shopping Center Going Thru Approvals in Hollywood, MD

The Hollywood shopping Center has preliminary approval on their plan to build at the corner of Rt. 235 and Sotterley Road.  This 14 acre center is proposed to have a CVS Pharmacy and Burchmart relocate to it.  Additional retail space will be available.  According to recent news posts the commissioners had turned down the location but the state appeals board overturned the decision. This still has a way to go on getting it started but if the traffic pattern can be worked out it should continue thru the process.

Dunkin Donuts Open in Leonardtown

Dunkin had its ribbon cutting yesterday and it's open for business.  The new Dunkin Donuts is located on 22845 Washington Street in Leonardtown, MD.

Proposed Waldorf Walmart Super Center Pulled

Walmart has pulled their proposal to build a new super center on the former Embassy Dairy land behind Sonic in Pinefield.  There was a lot of opposition against it moving forward due to concerns for the Mattawoman creek as well as opposition from local unions and residents.  Similar to what happened in La Plata.  We will have to see how this will affect the Western Parkway being completed.  It is unknown at this time if they will move to another location or out of the county completely.  The land owners still have a meeting scheduled on 7/26 to apply for a large box user that the public can attend.  Check the county website for correct time and date.

UPDATE:  county meeting has now been been cancelled.

Hobby Lobby Coming to California, MD

Hobby Lobby will be taking over the former K-Mart location in California, MD.  I am waiting on confirmation from my source but they should open later this year in time for the holiday season.
Hobby Lobby owns 700 stores in 47 states.  They also offer one of the highest wage rates in the industry with full-time employees earning $15.35 an hour and part-time employees receiving $10.23 an hour.  Not to bad.  They are still looking for a spot in Waldorf and we have given them a few places to look at.  So we will see what happens.
