September / October Updates

 Updated 10/18/18

 
Burlington is now open in its new location at Waldorf Shoppers Word.  Its a much brighter store with a better layout.

Now that Burlington has moved they can begin construction on new tenants Aldi and Harbor Freight Tools that will take over two thirds of Burlington's former space.   No projected opening date yet but I'm thinking early next year.  There will be one additional space for another tenant.  The shopping center is also working on a new facade for the buildings.

Shark Bar and Seafood Restaurant is scheduled to open this fall Late October in the Pinefield South Shopping Center in Waldorf.


The former Lonestar will become a Middle Eastern restaurant.  There is no opening date set.


Kahn Grill will open in the former Bucca space in the St. Charles Town Center Mall.  It is supposed to open this fall.

Fosters grill is looking to open a new location in La Plata in the former Red Oak space by Roy Rogers.  Looking at early 2019 opening.

Urban BBQ has closed in La Plata

Rite Aid closed in La Plata due to Walgreens buying the company.

K-Mart in Prince Frederick will close due to Sears Bankruptcy.

Aldi Coming to Waldorf

Aldi Market will be coming to Waldorf Shoppers World.  They will occupy a section of the former Burlington store which is moving to the former Sports Authority space.  Harbor Freight Tools will occupy part of the space as well.  Construction should start as soon as Burlington has moved all of their inventory over to the new space.  The Shopping center is also working on a remodel to update its look.

Aldi is a German discount grocery chain with over 10,000 stores in 20 countries and 1,600 stores currently in the United States.  They are no-frills stores and many of its products are their own brand.  Getting a shopping cart requires paying a quarter but you get it back when you return the cart.  Sometimes items in the store are only available for a short amount of time so if you want something don't wait.  Bring your own bags because they are not supplied.
