New Tenants for St. Mary's Marketplace

Klein Enterprises has let me know that they have just signed some tasty new tenants to the St. Mary's Marketplace.  Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Cold Stone Creamery will be located in one of the out parcel buildings next to Panda Express.  Cold Stone is Co-Branding their space with the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory which adds chocolates, confections and candy apples to their stores.  Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has locations world wide.  This will be their first store in Southern Maryland.  More tenants are working for St. Mary's Marketplace.  Stay tuned!

Casey Jones Restaurant Closing

Casey Jones Restaurant in a La Plata, which has been a landmark in the area since 1980, will be closing August 4th.

A D.C. restaurant group called EatWell DC will be opening a new restaurant in the location called The Charles-Farm Table & Public House.  EatWell has a farm close by which is one of the reasons it chose the area. This will be EatWell's  sixth restaurant and the first in Maryland.  Some of their other restaurants include The Pig and The Bird which will have some of its dishes featured at the new location.  Look for it to open October 1st of this year.  The address is 417 Charles Street, La Plata, MD.

A Few More Updates

Just a couple of updates on things happening in the area. 

We have sold the former Lonestar restaurant to a group that is planning a middle eastern restaurant.  They should start the remodel immediately.

The Raley's Furniture buildings in Waldorf and Lexington Park were sold and are being renovated.  They are now owned by Regency Furniture but will keep the Raley's name.

Five Guys Burgers in La Plata will be moving in the future to a new freestanding building next to Panera Bread.

Coldstone Creamery is still going thru permits in La Plata from what I'm told.  Its taking forever!

The Landing at Woodyard

For those that have asked, In Clinton they have revamped the former shopping center at the corner of Woodyard Rd. and Branch Ave.  I just got a list of the tenants they have signed.  Forgive me if some of these area already existing, I don't have anything to do with this center so I'm not up to date on whats there currently.
Panera Bread, Firehouse Subs, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Chick fil A, Marco's Pizza, Quickway Japanese Hibachi.

I had to remove the three anchor tenant names due to legal reasons but one is a market in Brandywine, one is a coat factory and one you can dress for less.

Hope that makes the Clinton fans happy.  The center looks much better after the remodel.  Hope all the tenants have great success.

A Group of Updates

Time for updates.  Some new small businesses opening up in the area and a few other items.  Since everyone likes the group updates better than individual ones I will keep doing it this way unless its a major tenant.

- Starbucks has been added to the tenant list at the Shoppes at Apple Greene in Dunkirk.


- There are a few used car lots coming to White Plains.  Lux Auto is taking over the GRD cycle location at Demarr Road and Crain Hwy who has moved down to the Atlantic Cycle and Power building.  National Auto is taking over the former construction rental place next to Sunbelt rental on Crain Hwy.

- Little Fish Seafood is coming soon to St. Patrick's Centre 173 St Patrick's drive in Waldorf.  No opening date yet.

- Metropolitan Security and Surveillance is open at 2477 Crain Highway in Waldorf in the Holly Tree Center near Popeye's.

- Indulging Hands Therapy coming soon to Tower Plaza Shopping Center in White Plains.  10583 Middleport Lane next to Mexico Restaurant.

- Southern Tire is building a new store and relocating to 131 St. Patrick's Drive near Goodyear.  It just broke ground recently so it will take some time.

We have several new tenants for our new office building at 5010 Regency Place in the White Plains Corporate Center:
Fitzgerald Management
Kids by the Bay Dental
QCI Behavioral Health
National Spine and Pain Centers
All are starting their build outs and we will announce openings as they are complete.  If you are looking to lease office space let me know.  Space is still available.

That's all for now.  Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Lidl Grocery Coming to Waldorf

Lidl has just purchased a 9 acre parcel for a new grocery store in Waldorf.  The Property is located at the corner of Smallwood Drive and St. Patrick's Drive across the street from the County Library.  The project is in its planning stage so there is no opening date.  

Lidl is a German discount supermarket based in Neckarsulm, Germany.  It operates over 10,000 stores across Europe and approximately 52 so far in the United States.  It is very similar to an Aldi Market and it's their biggest competitor.  More details as the project progresses.
