What Would You Place Near Publix?

What sort of businesses are you hoping for in New Hope?

Vacant spaces in the Dallas shopping center known as the Paradise Shoppes of New Hope are the focus of this week’s edition of “Fill in the Blank,” where we show you a vacant building in Dallas or Hiram, and you tell us what type of establishment you'd like to see move there.

Paradise Shoppes already has a variety of tenants, from  Paulding County Chiropractic and Great Clips to Subway and Pearl China, as well as Publix in the largest space in the center.

What would you like to see join these establishments?

As of Feb. 17, four storefronts of three different sizes are available in the shopping center. Two are 900 square feet while the other two are 1,200 and 2,100 square feet.

A fifth vacant storefront of 3,570 square feet, formerly a Beef O’Brady’s, will soon see another restaurant move in, according to Ryan Holzer, vice president of Atlanta-based Skyline Seven Properties, which is offering the retail space for lease.

See the attached document for more information on the shopping center and its available spaces.

We’ll be using our Fill in the Blank column to report on previously reported empty storefronts should there be news on potential businesses moving in. Let us know if you get wind of any talk of new business coming to town and we’ll look into it—that’s how we heard last year about Academy Sports’ plans to build in Hiram following the closure of the city’s Kroger location.

Lastly, if there are any vacant storefronts or buildings you would like us to explore, let us know in the comments.
