Opelika’s Tiger Square continues its steady progress – Opelika Auburn News

The Tiger Square Shopping Center on Frederick Road, which received its certificate of occupancy in September 2016, is moving forward as it continues its attempts to add more tenants.

The center is 60 percent leased, with eight spaces still available at the center. The sizes of the spaces range from 1,500 square feet to 5,400 square feet, said Lee Alice Johnson with Berkshire-Hathaway HomeServices Commercial Real Estate Division.

The center has focused on attempts to place restaurants in the remaining spaces, she said.

What were looking for is compatible usage with the spaces that are already there, Johnson said. "They would also need to be non-competitive.

The 22-unit, 36,300-square-foot center consisting of three buildings, has three entrances one off of Frederick Road and two off of Corporate Park Drive.

The tenants range from chain restaurants to local retailers. Some of the tenants at the center include Smooth and Groove, Anytime Fitness and Simply Sleep. A local tenant that will be coming to the center is Mama Goldbergs Deli, which is expected to open in a few months, according to Johnson.

Were really excited to have Mama Goldbergs Deli out front, Johnson said.

Opelika Mayor Gary Fuller said he is pleased to see the center doing well.

Its in a wonderful location, Fuller said. You've got a lot of synergy with Tiger Town being the cornerstone. It draws more store traffic in the area.

According to a marketing graphic for the center, 15,000 cars each day pass through the intersection of Frederick Road and Corporate Park Drive, making it an ideal location for both tenants and customers.

We certainly like to take advantage of our proximity to Tiger Town, Johnson said. All of our tenants have been very pleased with the amount of traffic that theyre getting.
