Same here - I lived just 5 minutes from a stand-alone TJs - was part of huge shopping area with Costco, Lowe’s and many good restaurants. Busy for sure, but always able to find parking.

From what I understand, Rural King and a dental office are going in?

That strip mall on the corner of 301/44 is just sad. I even heard that two of the few remaining vendors (nail salon and Chinese restaurant) were being forced out by increased rents. Insane to be increasing rents on a 90% abandoned strip mall.

The North bound Turnpike exit to SR301 is a safety hazard. exit traffic backed up on the turnpike. Wreck in the waiting...

I go to the Nail Salon there. They’re definitely not being forced out. They’ve been there over 16 yrs and have an established and thriving business.

I believe the owners are the same as Premier Medical Practices. They probably should make the center more appealing which would included a new parking lot. It’s an eyesore.

Now that ODOT has created a traffic mess going north as well as south, how can any Zoning Board agree to more construction? I know ... more tax revenue. Well, this board needs to go!

It's been empty because they didn't let tenants renew their leases.The barber shop had to leave when new owners bought it and that was years ago.

Maybe wildwood will have shuttle from the down town parking garage. Wildwood parking garage?:shrug: I’ve seen more activity in ghost town than down town wildwood. :pepper2:But there are lots of passer Byers though.

You would have to bypass that huge (90% empty) free parking area where Save a Lot, Ace and the Post office are. The whole idea that Wildwood will become a shopping Mecca is a joke.
