Does anyone know if there will be more stores coming to Ranson and Charles Town? When I went to visit, I notice there is no Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, furnitures stores, movie theaters, and clothing stores. They are really building up out there it just has to be more stores coming.
There is a large new development going up in Ranson, I believe its called Potomac Town Center. There is already Kohl's, Home Depot, Weis grocers and others. The second phase just began construction, it will include a movie theater, Starbucks just to name a few. I'm not sure when the exact opening date is.
Sorry to double post but I wanted to give some links to back up what i was saying. The first link is about the movie theater and a few restaurants going in and the second link is about Starbucks.
It's building up but remember there are a lot of other cultural events and unique places to shop. Jason's antiques in Harpers Ferry, The Oak Barn, Christmas events in Harpers Ferry, Charles Town, Shepherdstown.. The summer drama series in Shepherdstown is regionally acclaimed..
I hope Jefferson County 'life' doesn't wind up revolving around the malls like in NoVa...
Stores in Charles Town / Ranson (Jefferson County, WV)
Yes, there will be more coming -- only matter of time when Rt 9 4-lane corridor is completed between Martinsburg and Kearneysville (closer to Ranson). Ranson City is also expanding north and west toward Martinsbug.
The Potomac Markets shopping center in northern Ranson on the expanded Rt. 9 is owned by Carl M. Freeman Companies of Olney, MD -- They are big players and their shopping center here is already enlarging across from the existing shops, which includes a Kohls (fashionable, good clothing), Weis Markets and anchor store Home Depot.
They are near enough. Ranson is nice as is. LOL You realy do not have to go far to Frederick or Charlestown. That is what makes a small town nice to live in.
I do agree that a bookstore & movie theater would be nice. However, the new shopping center in Ranson does have a Dunkin Donuts. I personally think their coffee is MUCH better!!! I haven't tried the "froo-froo" stuff. I love the cinnamon spice coffee & I add my own creamer & sugar. I work in DC where there is a Starbucks on every corner. Its a bit overrated in my opinion. Prices are very high too. I would be more inclined to go relax @ a bookstore vs. a Starbucks. There are also some very nice local coffee joints in Shepherdstown on the main strip.
I LOVE SHEETZ COFFEE, I lived on that back during my college years in Morgantown!
