This is a conceptual site plan for Chase Creek Town Center, a proposed shopping center located at US 72 and Shields Road. This picture shows a "big-box" store, a grocery store, and about 40,000 sq. ft of small shops along with a bank in an outparcel. The "big-box" store shown has been all but confirmed to be a Wal-Mart Supercenter. The small shops will be filled mostly by stores that "follow" Wal-Mart, such as Hibbetts Sporting Goods, GameStop, Dollar Tree, etc. Whether the grocery store is built is up in the air, since both Kroger and Publix have stores nearby. Another mid-size tenant, such as a Goody's or a Big Lots, might take its place in the final product. Like most of the plans I post on here, this is only conceptual, and are used just to give potential tenants an idea of what's planned.*UPDATE (3/09): The contract the land was under to develop the Wal-Mart was dropped in late 2008, so a new Wal-Mart for Northeast is on hold, at least for a couple of years.
How would it be a Walmart Supercenter if the grocery store is not built? Also, with the proposed Target complex a mile west at 565 and Moores Mill why would Walmart not open a grocery store? I will believe this when I see it. Traffic will only get worse on 72.
ReplyDeleteThe proposed grocery store would be separate from the Wal-Mart, as shown on the plans.
ReplyDeleteWill the proposed overpass at 72 and Shields Road be taken into consideration with this development? Not sure if you can answer that or not but I would think that would have a large impact on the layout of this development.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the interchange will be included in the final layout of the shopping center, but as far as I know ALDOT hasn't decided on a final plan for the overpasses. So right now it's impossible to tell where it's going to go.
