The two new breakfast and convenient dining options are expected to open for business toward the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, national off-price retailer Burlington is slated to open in 2026 in the 25,310 square feet of retail space that will be vacated by national retailer of fabric and craft supplies JOANN Fabric and Crafts.<\/p>\n<p>First National Realty Partners\u2019 strong industry relationships and leasing expertise helped the firm secure the Burlington lease shortly after JOANN Fabric and Crafts declared bankruptcy last year.
