Warwick Square shopping center has been without an anchor store for more than four years, but that’s soon about to change.

Planet Fitness and Grocery Outlet will be moving into the former Giant location, splitting the long-vacant 50,000-square-foot space into separate storefronts.

The Giant closed in April 2019, after relocating to Doylestown Pointe Plaza in Warrington. In 2021, the space temporarily housed a county-run COVID-19 vaccine clinic.

“We are very happy to see a national grocer and fitness tenant joining the local community of Jamison,” said David Sherin, leasing agent with Florida-based Regency Centers, which jointly owns Warwick Square with First Washington Realty.

Located on York Road in Jamison, the shopping center is home to several retailers and restaurants, including Sherwin-Williams, Hallmark, Wine & Spirits Shoppe, New China, Randazzo’s Pizza and Wild Ginger II.

When will Planet Fitness and Grocery Outlet open in Warwick Square?

Planet Fitness and Grocery Outlet are both anticipated to open in the first quarter of 2024, said Eric Davidson, senior manager of communications for Regency Centers. Interior work is expected to begin in the next few weeks and should continue into the fall, he added.

In December, Warwick supervisors approved modifications to the façade, in order to allow for two separate entrances.
