Holly Tree Center and other updates

I figure an update is in order as things wind down in 2011 so here are a few things that I have been asked about.
Holly Tree Center shown above is a retail center on route 301 next to Popeye's that should start seeing its tenants begin space construction next month.  The tenants currently lined up are from left to right: Dairy Queen Ice Cream, Nail Salon, Women's wig and hair accessories, Benny's and 7-11.  There is one more space available.

There is a building going up on Rt 925 just south of Pembrooke center.  That will be a doctors office which should be complete by spring.

Community Bank is mid construction on their admin building located behind their current building near the corner of 301 and route 5.

The new Waldorf library next to Boston's will be complete by July 2012

Laugh out loud center will be replaced by Chuck E Cheese and a fitness center at Charles County Plaza

In La Plata, the Chipotle will open around March 1st and will be joined by Sweet Frog frozen yogurt. 

If there is anything else out there you want to know about or are interested in becoming a tenant please let us know.  If you have not done so already, please join our Facebook page as well.  2012 looks to be very promising.  We hope you have a safe and wonderful New Year and we appreciate your business.

Not Dunkin Donuts but 7-11

The old Friendly's location on Crain Highway and Holly Lane next to Raleys Furniture will not become a Dunkin' Donuts as I was informed.  Renovations are currently underway for a 7-11 store.  We can expect an opening sometime this winter.  There is another 7-11 store set to open in the small strip center next to Popeye's as well along with some other tenants I will mention in another post shortly.  Thank you to my followers for the update.
