City officials say the landlord’s application for permits is early in the plan review process, but the management company has posted a rendering on the property showing what the company calls a “storefront upgrade.”
The owners of Meadowlark and Wheat Penny had expressed interest in opening a new restaurant, ScissorTail Sandwich Shop, at the shopping center at the time of its sale in April.
The shopping center is home to tenants including Anytime Fitness, The Shopping Bag, and Jon Thomas Salon.

Gregg Gorsuch, economic development manager for Kettering, said: “We are actually seeing the retail sector pretty strong in the city of Kettering right now. I think two good examples of that are Fountain Square on Far Hills Avenue and the Kettering Towne Center over on Dorothy and Woodman.”
Gorsuch explained that both of those centers have been purchased by local investors and business people.
“I think that speaks to the strength of retail in the city of Kettering when our local investors want to put their money in projects in the city of Kettering,” he said.
