Westward Expansion Along Garrisonville Rd – Sitting on a 1.84-acre parcel accessible to 35,000 VPD, it is yet another national retail brand to add another location along busy Garrisonville Road. Garrisonville Road’s interchange with I-95 has immense traffic, and as residential growth in the area has pushed west, retail developments have followed. The subject property is adjacent to modern 7-Eleven and CVS locations which bring a combined 360K annual visitors to the intersection at Space Way. A few years ago, a self-storage facility opened on the rear parcel of this project. Retailer expansion into this market has been consistent for about a decade. In 2017, Walmart Neighborhood Market opened 0.75 miles west of the site. Placer.ai reports that this Walmart averages 1.1M annual customers visits, ranking it 2nd of 19 locations in the state. Next to the Walmart, national brands like Dollar Tree, AutoZone, Sheetz, and Wawa have opened. Just east of the subject Chick-fil-A is a new 23-acre mixed-sse development know as Patriots Crossing. Currently, it is home to a newly constructed 4-tenant retail strip, as well as a car wash. Multiple pad sites are planned for development at this project in the future.
