ChicFilA will bring with it congestion. A bigger, better Starbucks or a Panera Bread would be good. Starbucks with a drive-thru would be lucrative.

It's going to be a mattress store on one half of the lot and a burger place on the other half...

I remember reading somewhere that a Panera was planned for this shopping center. It would be a good option, but that entire parking lot always seems too small for the number of stores.

I had no idea it was closing! I won't miss it, but I know a couple of people that will. I have no idea where the nearest one is in the area.

Chick Fil A sounds about right. I think there are already a couple of Asian places nearby.

Speaking of places closing, anybody know what will replace that Korean place, Cho's Garden? It closed, they tore it down (I think the sign is still up) but there is some kind of empty, newly built shop there.

Anyone know what is going there?

Lamb center II has just finalized contract negotiations with the owner of the shopping center. 50 year lease with options to extend. Fairfax County Adult Services has agreed to provide one-way transportation to the center but due to financial constraints, they will not be able to transport clients out of the area. There are, however, several excellent dumpsters and some thick wooded areas for clients to take up residence in the immediate area.

As soon as FFX County permits are issued you say? Oh, ok...so we should have that TD Bank and Chick-Fil-A in there in a matter of what...the next 4 years? Give or take...

I drove by the one in Sterling (Potomac Run Plaza) today. It appeared to be open.

Doubt it, They typically don't do stand alone pads.
The empty end space at the Burke Giant would be more of a typical Panera location.
Also more cost effective for construction/set up.
The Giant shopping center owner has to be getting concerned about missed revenue from the empty site since My Eye Doctor moved a few years ago.
Possibility of favorable rent.

The Chipotle does very well in that shopping center. I could see Cava taking the Friendly's space as they attempt to expand.

Doesn't look like it's been decided yet.

According to this:
http://www.jbgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Burke-Centre10.pdf

The Chick-fil-a is listed as "coming soon" but that Friendly's location is just listed as "at lease." I'm guessing if they knew what was going to be there already that it would say so on this document.

I emailed the company that owns the shopping center and they said they will "announce shortly" what is coming in there.

The best little whore house in Burke.

The company that owns the shopping center will announce what is "coming" in there?

You are, if you have the price.

Anyone who eats at a Steak & Shake regularly is expanding.
