Looks like they are finally digging up the vacant lot in Charlotte Hall where the proposed shopping center and Weis grocery store is going. Please, please, put a decent restaurant in there.

Looks like either the Chick-fil-A or Starbucks in Charlotte Hall is being built.

Its Chick-fil-A thats being built. The Starbucks is going to be a bit later, since they moved from over by the Royal Farms they have to be approved again with another Planning Board vote which is sheduled for Oct. 28th.

What else is going in there besides Chick-fil-A, Starbucks and Aldi's? It better not be another Auto Zone. We want dine-in restaurants.

And I always wanted a pony.
If you guys want all these things then you need to stop answering the questions the way you are when the County's Economic Development Agency solicits public comment.
You also have to accept the fact that, for a number of reasons, Southern Maryland, especially Calvert and St. Mary's, don't meet the various metrics many companies look for when siting a new outlet.
Then add in the fact that everybody always says they'll support a local business but when the time comes to they don't.
No. St. Mary’s is at the end of a very long supply chains single site down here is a liability. Now build a few sites at the same time and it suddenly makes sense to send trucks this direction.

That distance is one of the metrics.
And....pull those private investment dollars out of your own pocket and get going. I'm constantly amazed at the number of commenters on various public forums that come out with the "we don't need that, we need this or the other!" as if the Planning Commision and commissioners were the ones deciding what businesses need to start up. As if, during a review, one or the other commissioner would come out and say" Sorry, Mr. Investor, we don't need another auto parts store. We want you to open up a go kart track or a skateboard park instead. 'kay?"

I never knew that he owned a 3rd place. We usually go to Fiesta Cafe once a week. Both northern locations are excellent and usually crowded.
I've been wanting to stop in there ever since they opened. Never did....seemed like it was always the wrong time or I was headed in the wrong direction. Bummer.For your consideration ...

When did you go?

Back in the days we went to Fiesta with no complaints. When Tequllia Grill opened with have gone many times no problems. It seems always busy and see so many friends and neighbors in there. Tequillia and Ledo's only 2 decent places to sitdown and eat up here in the Northern end of the county.
Many other places are doing fine in that part of town. Bottom line was their menu didn't attract the base lunch crowd.
That specific store used to be the A&W. When he closed, it was due to the park rats coming out of the neighborhood.

Anyone know when the Royal Farms is going to open? Thought it would be opened by now. They need to fill-in more asphalt for the entrance. And what's going to be built next to it?

I now have heard Dec 8th for openning. No one knows what is going to go in beside it. Just enough room for some type of sitdown restaurant. maybe.
