March 2024 Updates

March. The signs of the changing season become more apparent. The weather starts to get warmer, and the days become longer. Spring flowers begin to bloom, bringing color back to the world. March is a time of transition from the chilly winter months to the more pleasant days ahead.  I hope everyone has pleasant days ahead filled with happiness.  I'm really in need of some more of that sunshine.

As I always say if you want a restaurant or other store to come to the area tell them!  Go to their websites, Facebook pages, Instagram and let them know you want them here.  They need to hear from the consumers.  Not every place can open because some have to have a franchiser in the area. It's not always a corporate store.

Sheets was approved for Charlotte Hall.  It will be located off of Three Notch Road across from the VA Clinic.  O'Reilly Auto Parts has now been added to the tenant list for that Charlotte Hall Commons project.
Social Coffeehouse is having their grand opening of their new location April 5th at 41655 Fenwick Street, Leonardtown.


Choice Floors & Stairways opens April 1st at the Rosewick Crossing Shopping Center in La Plata.
Southern Maryland Produce in Charlotte Hall is going to move to the former St. Mary's Landing restaurant location on Three Notch Road.  They plan to open April 3rd.
There are new apartments coming to Western Parkway across from Hamilton Road. Waldorf Technology Park Apartments will have seven mid-rise, elevator served, class A apartments.  There will be a total of 272 apartments.  It will have two separate clubhouses, fitness buildings, a pool and other outdoor amenities.  

Royal Farms and Chipotle are signed for Lexington Exchange on Oak Crest Drive in California, MD

  5. Royal farms is still going back and forth with the county. Traffic flow concerns, etc.
    Starbucks is going to build next to chick fil a now so that's still working. I heard the same about the steakhouse. Someone was going to make it a farmers market.

    1. Oh yeah, but everything existing around there makes good sense and has a good flow to it.

  8. Royal farms should have beat Sheetz to getting the VA area lot. We could use something other than Wawa or Sheetz.

  13. Is Pop & Grow moving to the former Christmas Tree Shops location?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Charles County must have the most beautiful women in all of the county. With all these beauty supply places for them, or they need these places to cover up what they actually look like.

    1. Something def happening in LTown shoppers with construction type thing going on. I wonder too.

    2. All Shoppers (charlotte Hall, Hollywood, Leonardtown) close at end of April. Waldorf will stay open a while longer.

      Delete
    3. Thank you! Makes sense to the rumors. But crazy. They weren’t open that long.

      Delete
    4. Not surprising considering the Waldorf location’s track record in recent years

      Delete
    5. Charlotte Hall definitely needs a viable grocery option. Not a surprise Shoppers didn’t survive - it’s been a cost town since they opened with their ridiculous price points. Def need an option there besides Food Lion which is always slammed.

      Delete
  18. That is just a pad site at st marys marketplace for a potential restaurant or something else.

    Bowling alley still shows available for lease.

  19. It was posted on the Nextdoor forum. Some one posted that a friend who worked there told him that they were going to close all but Waldorf at the end of April.

  20. The slow moving Royal Farms in Charlotte Hall had some activity on Monday. Surveyor's were putting down stakes along Oaks Rd. that looked like they might be for widening Oaks Rd from Three Notch to Charlotte Hall Rd.

    ReplyDelete
  21. My mother works at shoppers, it’s a fact. Employees were notified late last week/this week. They are all closing. Waldorf will be open a little longer.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well since Shoppers has failed I cant see any grocery store wanting to come and fill the spot. The big guys like Safeway and Giant wouldnt even think about taking over that space. Never been to Bradfords that space might be too big for them. Come on Mr Rosemoor clear that farmers market quick. We need Aldi built today.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Aldi should occupy the now defunct Charlotte Hall Shoppers or build where McKays tried to open next to Tidewater Vet; a southbound grocery store would be nice. It seams like all counties see land and say lets bulldoze it! Who cares about all the empty storefronts and lack of infrastructure, schools, police, fire and EMS to support it all.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The old McKays/Shoppers/whatever else/ may try to go there good luck, divide it up into maybe three different stores. Its too big for a Aldi, and they dont want the old site that McKays was going to build the new store on that site would take too long with permits. They are already planned over by the market. Lets see how fast that area will be cleared and building started, Mr. Rosemore start the dozers. We need another grocery store.

  25. With the amount of chain restaurants and stores that fill the Southern MD area (Waldorf specifically) has this been seen as a concern at all to the local population and government? I see less and less local spots and it concerns me as it deadens the quality of options in my opinion.

    Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing anyone’s thoughts.
