WARWICK, PA — Warwick Square, which has been without a main anchor store since the 50,000 square foot Giant store moved out, will soon be getting not one, but two new anchors.
The former Giant Market space will be divided into two separate units with the Grocery Outlet leasing 25,191 square feet next to the Hallmark store and Planet Fitness leasing the remaining 25,289 square feet at the western end of the shopping center. Spin bike
The neighborhood center, located on York Road near Almshouse Road, is jointly owned by First Washington Realty of Bethesda, Maryland, and Jacksonville, Florida-based Regency Centers.
During the pandemic, the former Giant Store was used temporarily by Bucks County as a vaccination center for COVID-19.
