November 2020 Updates

I cant wait for the upcoming holidays.  Not a fan of the cold and often wet weather.  I'm also not a fan of it being darker when I leave the office.

Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.  Interested to see what this month brings us.  

Do you still like this format?  I felt like more people shared my blog posts when they were all separate.  It felt like more people got informed that way.  Let me know your thoughts.

And as always please be kind to each other.  Time to put up the Christmas tree!

Cedar Point Federal Credit Union has purchased land across from Target in Waldorf on Western Parkway for a new office.  They plan to open mid 2021.

Five Below is now open in Prince Frederick in the Fox Run Shopping Center.

We have been in contact with the owners of the former Lonestar restaurant on the mall circle and they are proceeding with a middle eastern restaurant.  Still a long way to go to get it up and running.  

EDIT: Now Open!

Arby’s Waldorf grand opening November 9th in the St. Charles Town Plaza shopping center next to Crafty Crab and Burger King. 1130 Smallwood Drive. 

Ledo's Pizza is now open at the corner of Piney Church Road and Billingsley road in White Plains.

11664 Billingsley Road.

Taco Bell will take over the former KFC on Great Mills Road.  No opening date is known.  

November Updates

Updated 11/19/19

Happy Holidays! The freezing cold weather is here.  I was hoping for more Fall weather first but you know how it is here.  Hope everyone has a safe month full of family and friends. When you are out there shopping please choose kindness!

Remember if you want something in your area please contact the company and tell them you want them here!

We are off to a slow start this month but lots of things in the pipeline.

LA Learning Center will be opening on December 16, 2019 at 3999 ST. Marks Drive Waldorf.
They are having two open houses:

Open house on November 22, 2019 from 3:30pm - 6:30pm.

Open house on November 23, 2019 from 11am - 2pm.

This is what they are offering for new clients: If you register on one of these two dates you will receive 50% off tuition for 4 weeks.

If you leave one of their competitors within a 5 mile radius of our school you will receive 50% off tuition for 8 weeks.

Arby's in Waldorf is working on their site plans and interior plans.  These things take time to work thru county approvals so its still in the works.


The supposed strip club in Bryans Road has been denied after it was found that they put in for a different use and then switched to the strip club.

Speaking of Bryans Road we have heard that most of the small spaces at the Bryans Road shopping center have leases pending.  The Safeway space is going to be a storage facility.
Unfortunately with the slow growth in that area its very hard to attract another grocery store.

Mezeh contacted me and said the St. Mary's Marketplace location would not open until Spring 2020.

Panera Bread will open later this month at the Landing at Woodyard in Clinton.

Chicken Rico has now reopened in Waldorf at Waldorf Shoppers World.

Arby's is coming back to Waldorf

The former Chevy Chase Bank located at Route 301 and Smallwood Drive West in Waldorf has been purchased by a group to put in a new Arby's.  This is over by Burger King, Panda Express and the former Hard Times Cafe in the St. Charles Towne Plaza.  This was a recent purchase so there are no details yet on an opening date.  It will be nice to have them back in the area. As you may remember we had a few of them before Roy Rogers took over the locations in Waldorf and La Plata.  Existing building to be remodeled. 

Arby's is part of the Inspire Brands which include Sonic, Buffalo Wild Wings and Rusty Taco.

As of April 2020 no opening date has been announced.
