Giant Eagle Supermarket Takes on 52,000 SF

FREDERICK, MD-The Frederick Shopping Center at 1305 West Seventh St. has a new tenant now that a Giant Eagle supermarket has moved into a 52,000-sf space in the plaza. The opening marks the Youngstown, OH-based grocery store chain’s debut in the Maryland market. Giant occupies the space that was formerly home to County Market, a chain of grocery stores which Giant Eagle recently acquired. Detailed terms of the lease agreement are not being revealed, but space in the center goes for as little as the upper teens per-sf to as much as the upper 20s per-sf.

Frederick Shopping Center was built nearly three decades ago and offers over 217,500 sf of retail space. It underwent renovation in 1990 and houses such tenants as CVS, Staples, Papa John’s Pizza, and Radio Shack. “It’s a real successful shopping center,” JBG Rosenfeld Retail leasing agent Bob Schwenger tells GlobeSt.com. “It’s 100% leased and it tends to stay 100% leased.” Because of Giant’s’ acquisition of County Markets, the space was never a closed vacancy.
