Habit Burger Coming to Waldorf

The Habit Burger Grill will be opening a new location in the Shops at Waldorf Center next to the Men's Warehouse in the former Blockbuster location.  Look for an opening by the end of the year. 
"The Habit Burger Grill is a burger-centric, fast casual restaurant concept that specializes in preparing fresh, made-to-order chargrilled burgers and sandwiches featuring USDA choice tri-tip steak, grilled chicken and sushi-grade albacore tuna cooked over an open flame. In addition, it features fresh made-to-order salads and an appealing selection of sides, shakes and malts. The Habit was named the “best tasting burger in America” in July 2014 in a comprehensive survey conducted by one of America’s leading consumer magazines. The first Habit opened in Santa Barbara, California in 1969. The Habit has since grown to over 190 restaurants in 10 states throughout California, Arizona, Utah, New Jersey, Florida, Idaho, Virginia, Nevada, Washington and Maryland as well as two international locations."  This will be the third location in Maryland.

Aquatic Center Coming to Brandywine

This is a project that has been in the works for a while (2013) and since there was a groundbreaking late last year I'm going to go ahead and post about it.

The Prince Georges County Parks and Recreation is going to build a 77,000 square foot indoor aquatic and recreation center on a 65 acre parcel of land near the intersection of Brandywine Road and Missouri Avenue.  The project is scheduled to open late 2018.  You can read more about it here:

Latest Concept for St. Charles Retail

I have been getting a lot of questions about whats going on at the corner of St. Charles Parkway and Billingsley Road.  The St. Charles Companies were nice enough to send me this concept plan they have for future retail and apartments that they are currently putting in the infrastructure for.

For now this is what could be built there but plans may change.  There are no tenants signed up so anything you hear is just rumors.  The apartments shown at the bottom will probably go up first.  No dates on the completion of the project.

HomeGoods Coming to San Souci Plaza

HomeGoods will be building a new store in the San Souci Plaza in St. Mary's County.  The store will be located next to Mission BBQ and The Maximum Fitness.  The Dollar Store was relocated to the other side of the shopping center to provide more space for the new build out.

UPDATE 7/18/17 Opening date set for mid to late September.
