New Retail Coming to Oaks

Reader Victor did some detective work regarding the future plans for the Marketplace at Oaks and was able to uncover the following.

---
BJ's Wholesale Club will be built directly behind Lowe's and Pizzeria Uno will be built on the other side of Egypt close to 422, with 8 to 10 more restaurant pads and 10 retail pads in the plans.
---


Note, this is not to be confused with the Providence Town Center which is in Collegeville.

I'd been thinking about joining BJ's for a while (regardless if the one in Oaks was opening or not). I called the UPT office last week to see if they knew when the one in Oaks was supposed to open and they told me it's supposed to open in October. The person I talked to said that's what the current plan was, but as with other stuff around here (the Town Center for instance) that they couldn't be sure if it would actually open in Oct. or not.

I will just be glad when that whole area back by the new expo is just finished & put together. All the construction vehicles & new windy roads that are often detoured, etc. drive me a bit nuts!

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.
