Towamencin Village Shopping Center Update

• Planet Fitness opened in June 2021. The 21,482 sq ft health club is located in the building at the rear of the property, closest to Allentown Road.
• PSDC has received preliminary plan approval for a Chipotle restaurant and Mattress Warehouse, located at the former Boston Market location.
  

Permits have also been obtained for the demolition and rebuilding of the building facades. They are also working on the development of two new pads sites, a restaurant with drive-thru and retail site, that will be located to the right of the entrance/intersection off of Forty Foot Road, across from the Village of Newbury community.   

The shopping center renovations will be part of a mixed-use integration with a proposed adjacent 55 and older building (to be located between the SKF campus and the shopping center) with the new town center layout. The proposed main entrance will align with the future signalized intersection at Newbury Way and Forty Foot Road. The developer plans to add front facing retailers to the back portion of the current shopping center building.
