It will have a 70,000 sq. ft. three-story building containing restaurants, outdoor seating, and entertainment businesses. A 100,000 sq ft. anchor store, BJ’s Wholesale Club, has been signed. BJ’s will also include a gas station and EV charging stations. The developer, Schuckman Realty, hopes to make the mall more shopper, community, and pedestrian-friendly by reimagining the mall.
