After months of trying to nail down a grocer tenant for the soon-to-be renovated Goshen Plaza, there is progress but no deal, said Philip Adler of North American Properties.
“We’ve reached out to over a dozen grocers in the area and we’re in discussions with a couple of them, but I do not have a tenant secured yet,” he said in a phone interview, later clarifying they are talking to “several.”
Because the grocer is so central to the development of the plaza, he also hasn’t been able to finalize or even look for other tenants for the plaza besides CVS, which he knows is interested in staying.
“Lots of tenants follow anchors and follow specific grocers and have formulas that join them at the hip, so to speak,” he said.
If Wegmans came and said 'We'd only come if you named it Wegmans Plaza,' I would be naming it Wegmans Plaza.
