New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

[Disney4845]

The Hughesville business alliance is working on fixing the area. Hopefully we will see some results.

Not if the stupid "Preserve Hughesville" people have anything to say about it. Those stupid people are the reason that "downtown" Hughesville is DEAD. The only business that is thriving there is HD. Of course, due to their killing of the "village", the HD owner has been able to buy up the entire place.

so many ice cream places I got confused.

There was (is?) also Menchies. Not sure I ever went there. Then Maggie Moos, is *that* still there? I guess I don't frequent enough ice cream/frogurt establishments.

Do you think anyone will buy Lenny's?

Or bulldoze it down to put a road back to the new shopping center?

I think Lenny's would be a good spot for Linda's Cafe to move to!

Speaking of new businesses, has anyone been to the chocolate shop in Leonaardtown?

I did not know he sold AAHD. I knew he sold the HD Washington and Clinton Cycles operations last year.

That was when Peterson owned the property. They got into the national harbor development and forgot about doing anything with that property. Meanwhile waldorf marketplace was built. LA fitness was supposed to go on that property as well. It was sold to another group now. No plans for it currently. Whole foods is not interested the area.

What property are you talking about?

We were there the night of the tree lighting. Was too packed at the time to get a real sense of the place but it seems like a cool place. Reminded me of a place in Niagara Falls that we really like.

The former stardust property

What property are you talking about?

 

[Disney4845]

Firehouse subs, 9 round fitness and smoothie king all going into the former American hardware in Waldorf.

Recovery centers of america is taking over an old property in waldorf to build a 90,000 sf facility.

 

[OldHillcrestGuy]

Firehouse Subs also going in Prince Frederick. Where did the National Guard, buy land for the new complex that's coming in the White Plains/Waldorf area? I remember reading the news release but don't remember where it said they were going to build. The old property that Recovery Centers taking over is it the old Change Point place on Billngsyley Rd.?

 

[Disney4845]

The army bought land on 227 where the fusion farm is at fox tail place. You can see where the weeds grow higher. Yes the RCA bought changing point.

 

[Bird Dog]

I saw on Facebook...Stage Deli on Great Mills Rd........or is that old news?

 

[SoMdDude]

I thought they were there and then closed up.

No that was a different place that sold custard, and it was amazing! Meadows ... they just didnt do alot of business sadly, was very sad to see it go

 

[catlingirl]

I read in the paper that the theater in Prince Frederick will be renovated. It said there will be reclining seats and other stuff.

Anyone hear that several southern MD area Chipotles are closing? Some kind of connection to the recent food scares?

What I heard is that they will all be closing for a day to go through some kind of food handling training that is connected to the recent food scares.

I've heard from a good source that the old bank on the corner of MacArthur Blvd and Rt 235 is going to become a Krispy Kreme.

Talk about traffic jams.

Or traffic jellies.... or traffic cruellers..

Somebody will buy it, bulldoze v clean it, and build another franchise eatery in its place..
