SNOW HILL – Officials approved plans for a new shopping center, which is expected to include a Giant grocery store, last week.
Last Thursday, the Worcester County Planning Commission approved a site plan for a large shopping center proposed at the intersection of Route 50 and Route 589. While it’s too early to say what stores will set up within the 120,561-square-foot facility, a Giant is expected to occupy about half the space. Commission members expressed excitement about the possibility of having a new grocery store in the area.
“It’ll be nice to have a choice,” commission member Phyllis Wimbrow said.
Attorney Mark Cropper and engineer Jeff Harman presented the site plan for Coastal Square Shopping Center to the planning commission last week. Renderings show a 66,454 square foot grocery store connected to additional commercial space. The development would be accessed by a traffic circle which would be connected to an extension of Racetrack Road just south of the existing Route 50/Route 589 intersection.
“We’ve put a lot of thought into the plan and we think it’s a great layout,” Harman said.
Rumor was they were going at the old Harley Davidson location years ago when it closed. I do miss Giant in Salisbury. Really wish another option would open up.
With all the EMPTY business spaces at the White Matlin Mall, near the Aldi, the old Ocean Pines shopping area, so we really NEED even more “shopping” area? How about fill the empty spots first before adding more to glut the area?
Just another Over Priced store for the wealthy Yuppies !!!!! Who cares ??
Giant has the same corporate parent as Food Lion since it was acquired a few years back.
That’s why the Giant in Salisbury was closed/sold to ACME so the parent corporation wouldn’t have a virtual monopoly in Salisbury.
Rt 50 & Racetrack Rd. is a very busy intersection currently.
Acme is Ran the same as Giant !!!! TOO EXPENSIVE / OVERPRICED ONLY the name changed
Never shop there / They are WAY Tooo Expensive & Overpriced !!!!! Don’t need them !!!!
