Sherwood Plaza has executed a lease with Destination XL, a division of Casual Male from Canton. The new flagship store will occupy a little over 10,000 s/f at Sherwood Plaza on Rte 9. The project will include a new façade and storefront to enhance the overall effect of this new anchor store.
"This tenant and the new façade concludes the last section of the property to be re-faced, a commitment that the ownership started approximately 12 years ago," said Ria McNamara, leasing agent for the ownership. "The original façade renovation started when Christmas Tree Shops originally took over the former Ames Department store," she said. Only one small store of approximately 2,300 s/f will be available after this section of the project is completed.
Many other sought after retailers continued the trend with the addition of Dick's Sporting Goods and on the east side, Ulta Cosmetics. Sherwood Plaza continues to be updated to stay relevant to the customer and to the community. Recently Spirit Halloween occupied the former Loehmann's store which closed during their bankruptcy proceedings. "The Loehmann's store has had several inquiries, but we have not connected with the ideal tenant yet," said McNamara.
Sherwood Plaza will begin a re-development of the former BJ's headquarters. The BJ's headquarters was originally built in 1959 when the center was first developed. Never before has this key piece of real estate been available. BJ's moved to Westborough in January of this year to a much larger facility.
