Happy July! Hope everyone made it thru the 4th will all their fingers intact. Business has not slowed down. I hope it has not for you either. If there is something you want to see in the area send them a message. It is important for the consumer to make contact so they know you want them here.

Fung Fu Tea is coming to Chapline Place Shopping Center in Prince Frederick. 742 Prince Frederick Blvd. They claim to be America’s largest bubble tea brand with over 350+ locations across the U.S. This is their first location in Southern Maryland.
Salsitas Grill is now open at Rosewick Crossing Shopping Center in La Plata.
Cava is taking over the former Wendy's location on Crain Highway in front of the Shops at Waldorf Center formerly known as Festival. I know you were waiting for this one so glad they finally came around.
Chipotle has been approved for the Charlotte Hall Crossing Property we represent. It will take over the land that has the motel on it between Burger King and McDonalds.
Royal Farms and Starbucks were approved for Charlotte Hall. They will take the place of the Wentworth nursery at 30315 Three Notch Road.
Southern Maryland Axe is coming soon to the St. Charles Industrial Park at 70 Industrial Park Drive, Unit 1C in Waldorf.
Chris, is Circle K still coming to Newburg/Faulkner?
ReplyDeleteDo you know anything about the Kung Fu Tea in prince frederick?
ReplyDeleteCircle k is on hold.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first I heard of the tea place. Looks like they have many locations.
We need a Chick Fil-A in Charlotte Hall, MD. We have to drive far. Any talk of one coming?
DeleteAwwwww
DeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteWill this help our push for better grocery stores and family entertainment

Why does everything have to be race related? Seems like all this race divided reporting is just dividing us more.
DeleteThings are what they are and patterns are the road map to reality.
DeleteThanks for info on Circle K.
ReplyDeleteAre they still building the circle k in newburg??
DeleteChris do you know what they're building across the street from the Lowe's in LA plata?
ReplyDeleteYeah. an Aldi... just like the sign out front says.
DeleteDo you know what is going in the place of Wendy’s off 301 in Waldorf?
ReplyDeleteCava
DeleteAny idea why Panda Express thinks this will work out? Nothing is going to change location-wise... its still a horrible spot with terrible options foe entering and exiting which was Sonic's quick downfall.
ReplyDeleteHow profound
ReplyDeleteStill dont have population for the bigger names. wealth helps but it was already here.
ReplyDeleteIve posted about the wendys now.
Aldi is going across from lowes along with some pad sites.
Sonic didnt really fail completely. It closed as part of a deal when the other branches were bought. Every corner is going to have an issue but thats where they all keep requesting to be.
Hey Chris, is the Fairway Village development in St Charles still happening?
ReplyDeleteIn December this packet was given to Glen Eagles residents but I haven’t hear anything else about it. Thanks!

Hi Chris🖐🏽 What's the latest on the opening for Jersey Mike's in Waldorf?
ReplyDeleteI heard a rumor that the Dairy Queen in Charlotte Hall is not going to renew their lease….have you heard anything?
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope!!
DeleteIt would be great if we could get a lotte/hmart/gmart in the old Meriden gym space
ReplyDeleteThey are still working on the fairway village project approvals.
ReplyDeleteJersey mikes looks like they are putting in equipment now. maybe a few months, need to hire as well.
Ill ask about the DQ
Ive asked about the old gym space. They havent called me back yet.
Chic fil a has looked in charlotte hall before before but has not even settled on a location. We keep in contact with them.
Chris any updates on Waldorf Station?
ReplyDeleteDoes it make any difference that hardly nobody wants a royal farms or Starbucks in charlotte hall? Evidently not. It's been said that we aren't big enough to have a decent grocery store or restaurant, but can have all the gas stations and fast food places we want. Where's the logic???
ReplyDeleteWhat is the latest on Waldorf station?
ReplyDeleteCan we get a K-Mart? Jamesway? Ames? This area is populated enough that these retailers need to stop ignoring us!
ReplyDeleteI second this comment, maybe a Dart or Ben Franklin too!
DeleteWaldorf station is waiting for the county to finish the western parkway. Maybe another two years before we see anything. That's when they say the road will be completed.
ReplyDeleteYou just named three stores that don't exist anymore.
I think anyone with any sense already knew that or they have been living under a rock.
ReplyDeleteHey i cant tell on here when someone is being serous or joking so im just gonna answer.
ReplyDeleteHey Chris! Is there any news on if anything will happening with the land where Stardust Motel used to be across from Roy Rogers and Tinder Box? There is soooo much space over there and great for some type of entertainment venue.
ReplyDeleteStardust property is owned by a group that is really in no hurry to do anything with it. They also dont want to sell it or break it up. So its a different kind of beast to deal with.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, can you reach out to At Home decor store to see if they would be interested in coming here? I think the Shoppers food Warehouse would be a great location for them, I notice they have a couple stores in MD now. Also do you know what the time line is for the opening of CAVA and Raising Canes? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteYeah I wish they would have taken over the old ToysRUs location before that dang Scandinavian Furniture store purchased it!!!!!
DeleteIs there any plans for AMC to remodel and any major renovations in the plans for St. Charles Towne Center?? If Simon Properties did to St. Charles TC what they did with Springfield Towne Center, they would cleeeeean up! They would have folks from the Mechanicsburg area, King George, PG county and other areas with no access to a substantial mall. That mall needs to attract some new tenants and anchor stores because Sears is just sitting there and that could be the new AMC or even some type of family entertainment arena. Waldorf residency is on the rise and we need more activities for families.
DeleteAs someone who lives in King George I can almost assure you there will not be an influx of business coming from here to the Waldorf mall no matter what they did to it.
DeleteThat is interesting because the only other mall semi-close in proximity is Spotsylvania Town Center. Well nonetheless, the mall needs to be completely redeveloped.
DeleteAs an active duty military member, I can assure you that there will be an influx of people from King George county shopping in Waldorf if the mall is redeveloped.
DeleteMaybe those of you in the military have a desire for shopping malls? Us lowly normals don't.
DeleteI believe they aren't interested in the Waldorf mall because of the crime in the region. Just guessing.
ReplyDeleteCrime is Charles county isn’t as bad you think it is. You should check out the statistics.
DeleteMalls are a dying breed... my personal opinion is you'll see it go the way of Landover, Landmark, White Marsh etc. before anyone spends major money redeveloping it.
DeleteSpotsylvania Mall demolished the Sears when it closed ans is redeveloping the space as condos/apartments.
I think these companies be bypassing Charles County because they racist. I guess if we were majority white instead of all us Ebony Kings and Queens they'd been here.
ReplyDeleteI'm rolling my eyes at you and the tired, "throw racism out at everything that doesn't go ones way" argument... Be better.
DeleteThose same companies "that be bypassing Charles County" have stores open in Capitol Heights, Landover, Woodmore..... Go take that racist bs elsewhere
DeleteAny word on when the Pizza Boli’s will open in Prince Frederick?
ReplyDeleteWhat is going in on Charles Street in Laplata on top of hill right before Rescue Squad and Board of Elections? I heard rumor of apartments but figured you would know.
ReplyDeleteI guess I wasn’t the only one begging and pleading for CAVA. Lol! Some dreams do come true.
ReplyDeleteRaising canes said they will open late this year. Ive sent messages to at home with no response. Cava im not sure if they are going to use the same building or not.
ReplyDeleteThe mall and AMC have had remodels in the past. I dont see them doing anything soon.
Mall has a lot of old non compete clauses they have to filter out but I think they dont want to spend the time fixing it.
You are correct apartments up on the hill in la plata.
Thank you for responding to my question about what’s happening on the hill in LaPlata.
DeleteAnd open-air Town Center shopping experience might be a good replacement for the Charles Town Center Mall, if the right tenants can be lured into the county.
ReplyDeleteCheesecake factory, Medieval Times, Dave & Buster's, upscale bowling experience like Lucky Strike in Bethesda, etc...and a select group of stores. Article:
https://pocketstop.com/blog/6-reasons-open-air-shopping-mall-centers-are-winning/
I thought that is the type of shopping that will eventually go in area where Embassy Dairy used to be. A mixed shopping center including medical bldgs and townhomes - similar to Waugh Chapel but I could be wrong.
DeleteThis would be an amazing feature to Charles County! With all these new housing developments, we still have to take substantial drives out of the county to find a variety of dining and shopping. Waldorf has soooo much potential. I was raised here and it used to be a lot more to do such as more movie theaters (Smallwood and over near Bed Bath & Beyond), a GOOD arcade in the mall with laser tag, toy stores galore! I hate to see it in the state it’s in now because it’s growing residential wise and doesn’t seem like businesses want to come here. It’s sad but hey it’s life, unfortunately! Hopefully things change really soon.
DeleteAny word on if Klinkos is looking at this area?
ReplyDeleteChris any August updates?
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on 227/Marshall Cornor Road across from Coastal Estates beside the Army Reserve Center?
