June 2023 Updates

First off I need everyone to take a breath and chill on some of the conversations that are going on here.  Everyone has opinions on why things don't come here and what the county needs.  But these conversations are going off the rails.  Lets please keep it civilized.  I haven't really moderated the comments and usually approve everything letting people say what they want, but if it starts to get out of hand I'm going to have to do something.  

I put this information up for fun and to inform because I don't like disinformation thrown out there.  Hopefully it helps people understand the process and the why and how things come to the area.  It seems to work because I notice it in the Facebook comments on other pages.  So that makes me happy.  Its time consuming as well getting the information, sometimes I spend a little too much time doing it.  I've always had a problem with time management, lol.

Congratulations to all of our new graduates.  I wish you the best of luck.  Stay focused on your goals and don't let anyone tell you that you can't achieve greatness.   

DSW is showing a June 8th opening date at their new spot in the Shops at Waldorf Center.  People ask why are they moving?  Probably higher visibility, but they did downsize to focus on higher end shoes.

Jersey Mike's is showing a new location coming to the corner of Dares Beach road and Solomon's Island Road.  They don't give an address so we will have to see if its in Calvert Village or across the street somewhere.

Kaiser Permanente was in town to give a small update on their future plans for the area. They are looking at a late 2025 early 2026 competition date for their first phase which will have 90,000 sf of next gen medical space. Included in this are 50 doctors offices, primary care, optometry, X-Ray, Imaging, MRI and 24 hour urgent care and 24 hour pharmacy. They mentioned that they have 16,000 members in the area already, and that they are working as fast as they can to bring these services closer to you. More services to be added in the second phase. We look forward to seeing work begin.

M&D Chicken and Fish now open in the Bryans Road Shopping Center. 3091 Marshall Hall Road.

April 2023 Updates

Hey April give me some sun and less wind!  Is everyone is having a good start to Spring?  Hope everyone is getting in some family and friends time.  Its always important to stop and make some memories.  Take pics and videos too.  Take a little vacation to get away from work.  Cherish the time and get your face out of that screen!

UPDATE: Crumbl cookies has started construction in Waldorf!

Raising Cane's in Waldorf now has an opening date of May 23rd.

DSW Shoes will be moving from its location at Waldorf Marketplace over to The Shops at Waldorf Center in the former Modell's spot next to the pop up and grow space right on the corner.  No word on a move in date yet.

There are a few construction sites on Rosewick road currently.  The one closest to Radio Station Road is a new storage facility.  The other is closer to the railroad tracks and that is the other entrance to the Piney Grove residential development.

I was going thru some construction site bids and we have two new O'Reilly auto parts stores coming to St. Mary's County.  One is next to the Dollar General in Hollywood at 23836 Mervell Dean Road and the other is planned to be in Lexington Park at 21400 Suburban Drive and Great Mills Road.  

I know how you love car washes so here's a new Tidal Wave Auto Spa planned at the corner of Rt. 235 and Rt. 4.  There will be two other pad sites at this location for other businesses.

EDIT: Burnbox Waldorf is showing May 5th as an opening date.
