November 2022 Updates

Hope everyone has been keeping busy and had a great Halloween! It was a bit soggy but we still had a pretty good time. Lots of projects still progressing nicely and some I haven't seen move at all.  I love November because of family and food time.  I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and thank you veterans!  When do you start decorating for the holidays?

I pinned a great article on our Facebook page about something I talk about a lot which is: Why we cant just put any business in the county.  Take a look at that and please like and follow our page there too.

April Updates 2022

 

Happy Spring! Well not spring like temperatures just yet but we are getting there.  I cant wait to get outside and enjoy some crabs and sunshine!  Hope everyone has a great month!

Its time for another explanation of why we can't get a _______ in Southern Maryland.

This example will be Dave and Buster's.  I talk about needing more population until I'm blue in the face but no one believes it.  Here is what D&B require to come to an area directly from their website:

"Super-regional draw: 700,000 to 1,000,000 daytime population within a 10 mile radius of the property."

"Average guest will travel 22 minutes to visit a D&B store."

Daytime population means who is in the area during the day and not away working in D.C. or somewhere.

Currently if you look at the Mall as a possible location there are only 200,000 people within a 10 mile radius.  So you can see that makes un ineligible for one of their stores.

Scandinavian Designs Furniture will be taking over the former Toys r Us location in Waldorf.  Work has begun on the façade already.   

Strength Connection Fitness and Miracle Ear are new tenants coming to the first floor of Potomac Square in La Plata.  9375 Chesapeake Street.

Smitty's car wash will be coming to White Plains behind the Wawa on Billingsley Road.

Hawthorne Commercial Center is under construction on Route 301 South in La Plata right before the Popeye's restaurant.  It will have two one story buildings.  6,000 square feet up front and 20,900 square feet in the back.
