Energy Continues To Build at Mooresville Town Square
It’s perfectly hip to be square in Mooresville – or rather, hip to be on the the square.
Mooresville Town Square is becoming an increasingly popular retail and restaurant destination as it continues to develop. Officials expect it will ultimately become a major 400,000-square-foot retail destination for shopping, dining and entertainment.
The development already is home to several restaurants that include Cartucci’s Italian restaurant, Fusion Bowl (Asian, sushi), Indigo Joe’s (a sports bar) and the Redeye Martini Bar. Future plans for the Square are to continue increasing the restaurant offerings, with plans in early 2010 to add eateries such as NY Bagel, Revel Wine Café and Woody’s Burger Bar.
In addition, Lowe’s Foods is planning to establish a grocery store there.
Town officials are confident that more and more retailers and restaurants will be drawn to the square thanks to the strong income demographics, great visibility and high traffic counts.
As for those traffic counts, estimates are that 45,000 cars already pass through the square every weekday, and that number will only increase as Mooresville’s population continues to rise. In addition, a new interchange is being constructed off Interstate 77 that will increase the already strong traffic counts.
In fact, town officials are confident that the many NASCAR fans who visit Mooresville’s race shops and related destinations here each year will find it increasingly attractive to visit the square once they exit off of I-77, as it will be positioned as the first developpment on Brawley Schol Road as motorists exit the interstate.
Meanwhile, officials also plan to see the Square eventually feature gardens and walking paths that will transform it even more into a lifestyle center destination. Plans include adding more upscale architecture and outdoor seating areas, and a central greenway is already in place to host concerts or festival-type events.
