Planet Fitness in the plaza.
POTTSTOWN PA – The unfinished shopping plaza that currently is home to a Planet Fitness health club at 1400 N. Charlotte St., Pottstown PA, could be completed later this year with the hoped-for arrival of an additional tenant, the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Planning Commission was told Monday (April 19, 2010).
Representatives of plaza owner Rosedon Development Co. of Wayne PA have contacted the township staff, Assistant Manager Alyson Elliott said, in a preliminary investigation of paperwork to be filed with the commission so the company could wrap up re-construction that began in Fall 2008.
The 20-plus-year-old facility formerly held a Rickels Home Center and a Genuardi’s Supermarket. Rickels filed for bankruptcy and closed; Genuardi’s moved out as other competitors, including Redner’s Warehouse Markets, moved in nearby. The plaza sat vacant for several years until Rosedon began work there.
The re-development contains 58,000 square feet of retail space and parking for more than 500 cars. Planet Fitness, however, has been the only tenant there since its opening. The plaza’s south end, which Genuardi’s once occupied, was partially renovated then boarded up. Parking lot improvements also have yet to be completed.
Elliott said the name and nature of Rosedon’s prospective tenant was not revealed. News of its interest was discussed during the commission’s regular monthly meeting at the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Sanatoga.
