Waldorf Park will be a new, 30,000 square foot shopping center located near the corner of Route 301 North and Smallwood Drive. It will connect by access road to the Cracker Barrel restaurant, Carrabba's and Hampton Inn. Construction has started. Tenants currently signed are Chick-fil-A, Jersey Mikes Subs, Nail Trix Salon and Spa, and a Starbucks with drive thru that I know many people have been waiting for. This will be a second location for Chick-fil-A and not a relocation. That should help with the long lines at the current location that can sometimes expand out onto the highway. The expected time to complete the center is Winter of 2020. Individual tenants should open a few months after. Chick-fil-A has a proposed opening of Spring 2021.

Hi what about getting a BJ Brewhouse in the area?
When can we get a Whole Foods or Wegmans here?
They are not interested in the area.
Wow really? Location, location, location, and what better location than route 301, one of the major roads in Maryland (it essentially runs right through Maryland).
Has more to do with demographics and no lunchtime crowd. see my past posting:

Do you think Mezeh or Cava will ever come to the area?
I dont see why they dont since mezeh is south of us. Best thing to do is contact them to let them know they are wanted in the area.
Some of you need to do a better job of researching an area before you move to it. Waldorf is not considered high brow enough (look at the demographics—it’s the new PG, and honey it’s not a compliment). We are never going to get a Wegmans, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Trader Joe’s or any other fancy smancy eatery, grocery store or high end retailer. As a black person, I really hate to put it like that, but it’s true. Waldorf’s best chance for that was maybe around 15 years ago. But in the last 10 years it’s taken a sharp decline and turn. While it’s growing, it’s not attracting the best crowd, and that turns away the investors for commercial properties you named.
You say Waldorf is the new PG, why? Because it’s a predominantly Black area? PG’s population is nearly 1 million, while Charles County is under 200k. PG has Whole Foods, Wegmans, Trader Joe’s, and Harris Teeter, we don’t.
Every county has good and bad parts. I’ve lived in PG for most of my life and I had a great time and lived in very nice areas.
PG and Charles County are different. PG has everything that CC wants — these high end grocers that you want but will complain about the prices shortly after and don’t go.
Charles County has one main “highway” that runs through it — 301. There’s not even land space to have a Wegmans or Whole Foods. We simply do not meet the criteria.
