Brandywine Updates

Since followers have asked for updates to the shopping center I have got some new information.  As of now Hershey's Ice Cream, Hanabi Steak House, and Einstein Bagels have begun their tenant build out for their spaces.  Some of other buildings are waiting on final inspections before we can turn them over to the tenants like Fuddruckers and Carolina kitchen.  We have also signed up AT&T as a tenant.  We may see some stores open by late summer / fall.  More to come maybe next week.

In Memory of Mary Shasho

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my mother Mary Shasho.  Mary was in real estate for over 18 years.  She was one of the first women in commercial real estate in southern Maryland.  Mary helped to begin the Charles County Police Explorer program where she served an an advisor for many years.  She was also part of the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Waldorf Jaycees, Kiwanis, chamber of commerce, and many other programs.  Mary always went above and beyond for her clients and friends. She loved being with her grandchildren.  She was an amazing person and will be missed by everyone very much.  Love you mom.

Donations can be made in her name to:
St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or Make A Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic, 10920 Connecticut Avenue, Suite 600, Kensington, MD 20895-1600

Silver Diner Waldorf Now Open

The Silver Diner is now open at the Shops at Waldorf on route 228.  The place was packed for their soft opening and with the way we love to eat around here there will be a line for a while.  This is the sixth one to open in Maryland.  They also have some in Virginia and one in New Jersey.

Ashley Furniture coming to Waldorf

Ashley Furniture will open a new location in the St. Charles Town Plaza this year.  The store will take over a portion of space between Citi Trends and K&G Menswear.  Renovations will be done to open up the area and create a new facade for the store.  Some of the smaller stores in that area may be relocated.


UPDATE 10-27-2014 Due to renovations of the center Ashley will open April 2015
UPDATE 4-29-2015 Weather has pushed back the opening to Fall 2015
UPDATE 6-26-2015 Store opening today at 5:00

DSW Shoes coming to St. Mary's

DSW Shoes will open a location this summer in the Wildewood Shopping Center in California, MD.  They will take over what is left of the former McKay's store that the Bed, Bath and Beyond didn't use.

Former Bennigan's gets a tenant

Finally a tenant has been secured for the old Bennigans location.  The All American Steakhouse & Sports Theatre has begun making alterations to the building.  We estimate an early summer 2014 opening date.  They currently have five locations in Maryland and Virginia and another on the way in Odenton in the winter of 2014.

Time for La Plata to vote on the SuperWalmart

www.approvequestiona.com

On April 9th the residents of the Town of La Plata can vote to either approve or deny the annexation of the land across from the Lowes and Giant.  If they approve the annexation then the Superwalmart can be built.  Why do they need this in the first place?  Because they can not build on well and septic and making this part of the town gives them water and sewer hookup.  What are they going to do with the old walmart if this is approved?  The developers and walmart are already working on stores to fill the space in the event it is approved.  One plan is to cut the building in to three or more stores, put a new facade on it and bring Kohls in plus others.  It would also help fill the Rosewick Crossing shopping center and bring alot of other new stores.  The vote will take place at the La Plata town hall from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.  To read more about it visit the website above.




UPDATE 4-10-2014  The town of La Plata has rejected the annexation.
