This was discussed up thread about a month ago.

I actually talked to the broker who reps Whole Foods and they told me they have turned down that site and prefer to be somewhere around 2nd & Bryant, because they also hope to put another location near Quail Springs and want some separation.


I'll double check to see if anything has changed.the need to level that entire shopping center and rebuild from the ground up. Waaaaaaaay too much surface parking and am outdated piece of crap building. This is good for the area

I think we should rename this thread "Edmond Market Place"
This is going to be a really nice shopping center and I am excited to see who all is going to go in there.

Any idea yet what is going in?

Whatever it is, they're in no hurry.

I'm still hearing whole foods for this site....

Whole Foods is not going to happen. Unfortunately.. Natural Grocers or Fresh Market is a likely a possibility.
From inside sources

It would make a lot of sense. The owners have certainly poured a lot of money to transform that location into one of nicest looking strip centers that I've seen in this area. It definitely looks like it's going to be for retail and not any alternative use such as a call center or church. When I lived in Arlington, TX, years ago, Whole Foods made a move into a renovated strip center that eerily looks like this one and that was in a very similar demographic area.

I mentioned before that I spoke to the real estate broker who represents Whole Foods in OKC and they don't like that location and want to be further north in Edmond, as they are are likely to open a location near Quail Springs as well.

All the retail brokers I know have said Whole Foods is not going in at either center at that intersection.

I did come across this which is labeled as Edmond Marketplace.

I wonder if a tenant is lined up but just hasn't been announced or if this is pretty much a spec center waiting to be leased.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's just going to be space for lease.

The parking lot could use an overhaul too.

amen to that

The outside facade of this looks like a major mid-to-high end grocery chain like you typically see in other cities. To me, it seems like they've done an awful lot to not already have a tenant lined up.
