Kingsport gives green light to Starbucks, Panera

Reedy Creek Terrace is a proposed 40,000 sf specialty shopping center located on Eastman Road across from Blockbuster Video.

 

The developer identified the initial anchor tenants as Starbucks, Panera and FedEx/Kinko’s.

 

The center is projected to generate at least $8,000,000 in annual retail sales with a property value of at least $5.1 million.

 

Last night, the Kingsport Board of Mayor and Aldermen agreed to reimburse the developer up to $200,000 for a traffic signal if he meets certain performance criteria (which includes specifically landing Starbucks and Panera/St. Louis Bread Company and investing $4,000,000 in property improvements).

 

The center is projected to open in Spring 2007.
