Five new Starbucks locations are planned to open throughout Ohio, in Columbus, North Canton, Westerville, Macedonia, and Medina. The Wilson, a new mixed-use retail and residential development located at the corner of E. Lane Avenue and N. High Street, a main gateway to The Ohio State university campus in Columbus, Ohio, will welcome Starbucks, Chipotle, and CoreLife Eatery. Starbucks will also be coming soon to a new retail strip at the intersection of Polaris Parkway and Cleveland Avenue, part of a broader development anchored by a HealthSouth rehabilitation hospital, in Westerville, Ohio. Starbucks will be joined by Local Cantina and Bru Burger Bar in the 14,500-square-foot strip called The Corner  In Westerville, Ohio. Starbucks plans to open approximately 12,000 new stores globally by 2021. Steve Altemare, Senior Vice President, and Dan Clark, Vice President at Goodman Real Estate Services Group, Columbus Office, represented Starbucks in this transaction.

Taco Bell will be joining one of Northeast Ohio’s most successful regional trade areas on Detroit Road in Avon. The new site will be placed in between Burger King and Fifth Third Bank. The fast food chain will be joining a vibrant community, with French Creek Square, Avon Commons, and City Centre of Avon all located just minutes down the road. The area continues to grow, and a new HomeGoods just moved into Avon Commons this past April. Michael Solomon, Senior Director at Goodman Real Estate Services Group, represented the buyer in this transaction. Zack Sogoloff, Senior Vice President, and Seth Marks, Senior Associate with Goodman Real Estate Services Group, represented the seller in this transaction.

Worthington, Ohio will soon have another fast-casual dining option on North High Street just south of the interchange for Interstate 270.

Blaze Pizza will be opening in the northern Columbus suburb in a space formerly occupied by Cosi at 7166 North High Street. The Pasadena, California-based fast-casual pizza chain joins existing tenants Starbucks, ImmediaDent, Jimmy John’s, and Sport Clips in a center located just across the street from the Kroger-anchored Shops at Worthington Place.

This marks the second location for Blaze Pizza, which boasts 191 locations in North America. They first entered the Columbus market in February of 2015 with a location near the Ohio State University’s campus. Blaze is known for its create-your-own “Fast Fire’d” personal pizzas, which are then cooked in an open-flame oven for about three minutes at temperatures averaging around 700 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dan Clark, Vice President of our Columbus office, exclusively represents Blaze Pizza in all of Central Ohio.
