Marshall’s, Hobby Lobby, Petco, Ross Dress for Less and a Rack Room Shoes are the retailers that will open in the spring of 2015 on Battlefield Parkway next to the Fort Oglethorpe Walmart.
CBL & Associates, the Chattanooga-based company that owns and opens malls around the country, announced the retail lineup at the new shopping center, dubbed “Parkway Plaza,” last week.
“This was an exciting opportunity to develop another great center close to home,” CBL Executive Vice President Michael Lebovitz said in a statement. “Parkway Plaza is well-located, and its retail lineup will add attractive choices to this highly trafficked retail corridor.”
Construction will begin in June and the development is projected to open in about a year. Ninety percent of the 134,100-square-foot project is already leased.
Taxpayers in Fort Oglethorpe and Catoosa County helped pay for the entrance to the new shopping mall. The city and the county development authority voted to spend $350,000 each, for a total of $700,000, to build a new intersection and traffic signal on Battlefield Parkway just west of Kellerhals Lane leading into the site.
