Shoppes at EastChase

[jtrippe77]

Does anyone know what is being built next to Kunnucan's at East Chase. Is it just another parking lot? Also, what are they building between Red Robin and Ixtapa. I know we're getting Circuit City, Ulta, Michael's, Dick's, Old Navy and Bed Bath and Beyond. I heard East Chase might be getting a Steak N' Shake too. Anyone heard about anything else?

I've heard that Steak 'n' Shake has the lot behind Starbucks. The construction, as I understand it, is Rooms To Go.

I guess that means Rooms To Go will be closing their East Boulevard location within the next few months. Another blow to the viability of the bypass.

New businesses opening soon in the Market Center -- adjacent to Costco -- will help fill about 80% of the 300-acre EastChase development. According to the development firm, Jim Wilson and Associates, the entire development will probably be completed in three more years.

The new Circuit City store at EastChase opens this Friday, about three weeks ahead of schedule. Bed, Bath and Beyond should follow in the first week of April, and Old Navy in the first week of May.

I wonder how long it will be before the East Blvd store closes.

Does anyone know what store is being built on the right side of East Chase Parkway closest to Taylor Road? Is that the Rooms to go? If so seems like the one on East Blvd is alot larger.

[Southron]

^ Not sure what that is. Maybe someone here knows.

Michael's will open its new EastChase store the first week of April, and its East Blvd store will remain open until then. Circuit City and Costco are already open at EastChase.

I wonder if there still are any plans to expand the lifestyle center component of EastChase. I remember spotting a master plan that featured a lifestyle wing extending southward from the fountain/metal sculpture towards Berry Hill Road.

Based on the article below, I believe that is the new Rooms to Go location. RTG claims that this store will actually be a little bigger than the East Blvd store. A Mimi's Cafe is supposed to open in that area as well.

Mimis Cafe, an upscale family restaurant, selected EastChase for its first Alabama location. The 6,800 sq ft, 125-seat restaurant will open in mid-November adjacent to Rooms To Go at the entrance to EastChase.

Circuit City is going out of business and liquidating all its 567 stores in the US. Their new store at EastChase has been open less than a year.

Interesting... here's a copy of a leasing brochure that has a site plan in it. Is anyone aware of an expansion in the works?

Thats unfortunate about Circuit City. I was able to shop there a lot quicker than BB. I haven't heard anything about expansion. I don't think now would be a good time anyway. Also, seems like I remember during the proposal years ago there were more man-made lakes on the plans.

Again this is not new news but I havent been watching WSFA in a while.

Luxury apartments and a new organic food store are coming to Eastchase. The store is called Earth Fare.

Whole Foods is coming to Montgomery! A Whole Foods Market is set to open in the new Chase Corner retail development in early 2016. Chase Corner is under construction directly across Taylor Road from EastChase, and other tenants will include an Outback Steakhouse, a Buffalo Wild Wings, and a Jared Jewelry store.

 

It'll be interesting to see what this new competition will do to the existing Earth Fare just a few hundred feet away at EastChase, and to the Fresh Market five miles to the west on Perry Hill Road.
