Never mind with the parking lot fix. They're just doing a cheap patch and THIN spritz of sealer.

This stays one star. Disappointed w/mall management.

The square is finally getting a makeover of the parking lot. It will take about a month or perhaps more. But it looks like they're going to finally fix it and make it presentable for everyone. Kudos to management.

There are multiple important vendors here, CVS, Cricket Wireless, Food Lion, O'Reilly Auto, Planet Fitness, Busy Beaver Hardware. HOWEVER, the heavily-cratered lot in-front of Busy Beaver and Planet Fitness/O'Reilly is just "third world." Looks like a mine field. The area in-front of Food Lion was done nicely, then that stopped. Also, water main breaks are frequent here as land was reportedly not compacted correctly (from folks I know who have a good handle on history here). Let's bring the property up to "par" for the...

Got my nails done at the nail place.

Also my friend had to wait over an hour for someone to actually come to the salon to do her nails and her tech rushed through hers and they were.... Well ill...

Food lion, CVS, vape shop, and a busy beaver I believe.. oh and Japanese restaurant with sushi!! What's not to like? You can get most of what your looking for in this plaza and if not there's another almost across the street with a dollar general, big lots, diner, hot dog place and rent a center type place! So if you don't want to go across town to Walmart, you'll probably be able to get what you need in these plazas. Smoker friendly is not in plaza but beside it for smokes. Even a car wash is in the big lots plaza I believe.. convenient location for sure with several gas stations on same street and a Wendy's and salvation army and let grooming lol a hole in the wall motel. Pretty central...
