At 60,000 square feet, the store would be roughly half the size of a Giant or Safeway store, said John McGranahan, an attorney for the developers. He also said the store would cater to workers and residents of Kincora’s 1,400 homes, but likely would not be a place where residents do the bulk of their shopping.
In the grocery business, “specialty” often refers to stores that sell items not found in traditional grocers or to smaller stores, like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, both of which do not have locations in Loudoun.
"They are certainly on our list," said Michael Scott, one of Kincora's developers, adding that his brokers are speaking with several potential tenants.
While a 5,500-seat ballpark has already been approved for Kincora, the Board of Supervisors is currently reviewing a rezoning request that would also bring the homes as well as 4.5 million square feet of commercial space.
That sounds like a great addition to this already great project.
