There's a bunch of construction stuff at the site next to Providence Bagel (where Dune Bros WAS going to move in). Any idea what's going in? I assume it's not DB since they bailed awhile back....
I'm fairly certain it's not DB but at this point I'd be happy to see anything new on N Main (that's not an auto parts store). But the site was definitely filled with some new material when I drove by today so something must be up!
So what's the load in for? Bunch of white plastic (pvc stuff?) and acitive crew there today. Haven't heard any dish....
No idea I just still have realtor alerts on and this popped up today
Possible they have some remediation to do before they would be able to sell.
Good point - wasn't it a gas station before (or the time before that? Something environmental).
There was definitely contamination. I think that and covid is what killed dune bros. There
That was a terrible location for Dune Bros. Enjoying a lobster roll on the patio along that stretch of N Main? Hard pass.
Whole heartedly agree! Much better where they are.
Agreed. I selfishly (shellfishly?) want them to move in next to Rasoi/Antonio's and build out a little outdoor seating area there. Wish the owners of the plaza had more imagination than basic strip mall.
I believe the plan was for them to keep both locations fwiw. But who knows.
There was a post/tweet/something from Dune Bros a while back saying the lot was contaminated so they could not build there.
The stuff there is probably a remediation activity to address the contamination so the lot can be sold.
So probably just the owner doing what they should have done before rather than something exciting coming soon. Good point.
There's a dentists office going in right next to Antonio's - but there's a Jewish deli and a brick and mortar store of Feast & Fettle moving in in the part where the Rite Aid and the pet supplu store used to be.
I just read about the deli. I hope it's great.
Nice news about Feast & Fettle thanks!

Was excited for this when I saw it too, but slowly lost hope when there was no progress for two years.
