End of Year Updates

We have come to the end of another successful year. I wanted to just go thru a few new tenants and updates on things I have mentioned in the past but people have missed due to them getting pushed down the list of blog entries.

Also I want to mention again that the comments are reviewed before they are posted.  These blogs get spammed so I have to approve comments before they show up.  I try to do that as soon as I see you have written something.  It is very rare that I will not post someones comment.  They would have to be very nasty.

I appreciate the input I receive from everyone.

Harris Teeter in California, MD is set to open January 24th. 

Sunbelt Rentals is taking over the former Victory motorcycle dealership on Crain Highway in White Plains, MD.  Renovations are being done to the building now.

The Army Reserve Training Center is under construction in White Plains off of Route 227(Marshall Corner Road).  This is a 90,000 square foot training and recruitment center.

SHARK BAR and SEAFOOD HOUSE
Shark Bar has recently signed a lease at the Pinefield South Shopping Center.  This is a new venture for this group so don't confuse it with any one else with the same name.  It may be a different group.
I hope to get more details in the future.

 Once Upon a Child is under construction at Waldorf Marketplace III next to Fosters Grille.  They specialize in gently used children's clothes, toys, and furniture.

Habit Burger is under construction at the Shops at Waldorf Center.  Late Winter / Early Spring opening.


Baldus Retail Center


Baldus retail center in La Plata will have a local brand quick service chicken restaurant and a Davita Dialysis Center.  Rumor of Nick's of Clinton are false.

That's all for now.  Have a wonderful holiday and happy new year!

    Hello,
    Anything on the old Sport and Health building on Post Office Road? That is a perfectly good gym that our Charles County youth could really use.

    The old sport and health club was purchased by the county. I had heard it was to be used for seniors and other programs. No word on when that would open.

    Great, nice to see somd en route to keeping pace with other communities. Any suggestions on getting Chaney Field on Substation rd cleaned up. The grass is in desperate need of cut. It's where folks consider the " old Waldorf ".

    The building going by the Tractor Supply on Mervell Dean Rd is a Dollar General.

    Thanks for the wonderful blog to keep us informed of the projects.
    1. Any word on the old Sports Authority or HH Gregg buildings in Waldorf? I'm thinking either one would be a good location for something like Harbor Freight Tools.
    2. Do you know if there is a road going from the backside of Brandywine Commons to Brandywine Road? It looks like there is clearing behind the now former Shell station on 301.
    3. This might be out of your normal areas, but any idea if anything will be done with the former car lots in Upper Marlboro (MD4/US301)?

    Will there be an Ulta store coming to St Mary’s county? I have heard a lot about it.

  12. Chris ShashoDecember 30, 2017 at 10:50 PM

    Burlington is going to move over to the sports authority space. The Burlington is easier to cut up for other tenants.
    The only road I’m aware of is the one connecting Brandywine Crossing to Brandywine road.

    No idea on the car dealers. Sorry


    I have not heard about ulta. Where is it rumored to be going?

    This Lamb would like to see Hobby Lobby, Cost Plus World Market, and an Apple store in Waldorf.

    +1 on the Apple Store here. I'm tired of having to drive to Pentagon City.

    Is the Starbucks still slotted to go into the Harris Teeter plaza? Still plans to have drive-thru?

    Any idea what will replace the recently torn down RIP's restaurant?

  22. Chris ShashoJanuary 18, 2018 at 3:35 PM

    They still want to build a sports center but lack funding.

    I did a post on the new center where rips was in October. Still in the planning phase.

    Chris as always thank you for keeping the citizens of Southern MD informed on what is happening in our communities. I stopped at the Dunkin Donuts in Camp Springs on Allentown Road just off of MD 5 and see a large lot being cleared across the street with signs saying a new Wawa and Lidl is going in there which is great news. Any word on a new Walmart going in Waldorf or say Brandywine?

  26. Chris ShashoJanuary 26, 2018 at 12:21 PM

    So far there has been no further push for a Super Walmart in Waldorf. They took two shots at it in Charles county and were not met with welcome arms by the county or the unions. Their best shot would be in Brandywine but I have not heard of any deals being made. Thanks for your comments.

    Hi. Live your blog and the info you provide us with. Do you know what's going in that cleared land on St. Charles Parkway behind Gleneagles South?

  28. DKHFebruary 8, 2018 at 1:25 PM

    Thanks for the updates Chris! Much appreciated as always! I've been hearing rumblings of a Super Walmart coming to Brandywine near or behind Costco. Been searching the net to find info but coming up with zero's. Any insights as to this claim and if true, specifics as to when, where, etc.. Thx!
