If you've been wondering what is happening with the property next to the new Super Wal-Mart, the answer is not much at the moment.

In an N-D&L story one year ago, Glen Kinkade, developer with Midwest Retail Properties in Fort Worth, Texas, said he he expected several stores to be open by the first quarter of 2006.

However, Kinkade said this week that things are just moving more slowly than he anticipated.

“We're still negotiating with numerous different tenants,” Kinkade said. Although he is confident that the shopping center will eventually house several businesses, he did not know when those businesses would open.

Kinkade said he is talking to a number of “soft goods” store and some restaurants. He did not say the names of any businesses he is talking with, but said they are clothing stores and boutique-type stores as well as restaurants.

Although some ground work has been done at the site, Kinkade said they would not start any building until leases had been completed.

The Logan Crossing shopping center plans to have 50,000 square feet of retail space available in adjacent shops plus six 'outlots' averaging 1.47 acres each for businesses not attached to the strip mall.
