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.

Mission BBQ Coming to Waldorf

Mission BBQ is coming to the Shops at Waldorf Center (formerly known as Festival Shopping Center).  They will be taking over the former Cafe Rio location at 3082 Festival Way, Waldorf.

Besides their great food, Mission BBQ is known for their strong commitment to the brave men and women of the armed forces and first responders as well as giving back to those groups thru donations to many national and local organizations.  Mission BBQ has restaurants in 16 states, 14 locations in Maryland including one in California, MD.

UPDATE: NOW OPEN

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!

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!
