October 2021 Updates

Getting into the holiday season quickly.  Already seeing Christmas decorations in the stores.  Hope everyone is ready!

Big Lots has been added as a new tenant in the Fox Run Shopping Center in Prince Frederick, MD.  It takes the place of the former Gordmans space.

Momi's Kitchen - Simple fresh healthy Mediterranean restaurant is coming soon to the Mall circle in Waldorf.  Located in the former Lone Star building, renovations have taken a long time due to the amount of work that had to be completed.  It was a complete gut job.  Can't wait to see it open.  

Charleys Philly Steaks is now open in the Waldorf Shoppers World behind Chipotle. 

HomeGoods and TJ Maxx are moving over to the Shops at Waldorf Center and plan to open next spring. I posted this before but it gets lost after a few months and now construction has begun so I get more inquiries. I assume this is to get more exposure.  

Chick-fil-A near the corner of Smallwood Drive and Route 301 is now open.

Ross is now open in the Fox Run Shopping center in Prince Frederick, MD.

Red Tails Ocean Grille will have its grand opening on the 29th of October at 5p.m..  It is located at 173 St. Patrick's Drive in Waldorf.

June 2021 Updates

Happy June! Congratulations to all the 2021 graduates!  The past year has been very difficult to deal with and these kids are making history.  I wish the best for them and everyone going forward. 

I'm going to mention a few things I have announced in the past but have been buried by months of other posts but we have some new things happening in the area as well.

Also I want people to understand some things about new commercial developments.  The county does not build retail centers. The county cant make a business open up here.  These are private companies that put out all the money to make it happen.  When you say things like "They should have fixed that old building over there instead" or "There's vacant space already over there".  Well that's not their property.  Maybe they didn't want to sell it. Maybe they wanted too much for it.  Maybe that building was so out of date it cost more to fix than to build new.  Maybe the land or building was too small.  There are many factors to consider.  What if you wanted to build a new home but everyone told you to go renovate some other one instead?

Waldorf Park is the new, 30,000 square foot shopping center that's going up near the corner of Route 301 North and Smallwood Drive.  It will connect by access road to the Cracker Barrel restaurant, Carrabba's and Hampton Inn.  Construction has started.   Tenants currently signed are Chick-fil-A, Jersey Mikes Subs, Nail Trix Salon and Spa, and a Starbucks with drive thru that I know many people have been waiting for.  This will be a second location for Chick-fil-A and not a relocation.  That should help with the long lines at the current location that can sometimes expand out onto the highway.  Chick-fil-A has a proposed opening of October 2021

New tenant for the Rosewick Crossing Shopping Center in La Plata.  Salsita's Grill will take over the former Spoons BBQ restaurant.  Should open by late summer.

Construction has started on a new three story MedStar Shah medical building in White Plains next to CVS.

Fresenius Kidney Care is now open in Waldorf West behind Silver Diner at 3015 Technology Place.

Charleys Philly Steaks will be coming to the Waldorf Shoppers World behind Chipotle.  

There is a Dollar General being built in Marbury at 224 and Bicknell road. I'm not sure why they chose that spot.  That area is zoned for commercial by right.

Burger King has been added to the list of new tenants for Fox Run Shopping Center in Prince Frederick.  

7 Eleven is now open in White Plains at the corner of Willetts Crossing road and Route 301 North.
