COVINGTON, Louisiana —- (SEPTEMBER 23, 2011) Stirling Properties announces River Chase Shopping Center Phase Two, which broke ground in August, and the addition of eight new national tenants that will bring 85,000 square feet of retail space to River Chase as part of an expansion to the development’s existing shopping center. All stores are expected to open spring 2012 and will occupy built-to-suit space located within the center’s southern end, south of Brewster Road.
Five of the eight national tenants have signed leases. They are as follows:
- Michaels, the largest specialty retailer of arts, crafts, framing, floral and more, will occupy 28,290 SF. This will be the retailer’s second location in Western St. Tammany with a store already in Mandeville.
- Chuck E. Cheese’s, a leader in the family dining and entertainment industry, will occupy 15,400 SF. This will be the second St. Tammany Parish location for the retailer and first for Western St. Tammany.

This announcement comes on the heels of the official announcement that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. will build an upscale Sam’s Club at River Chase which is scheduled to open in fall 2012 – just months after these multiple retailers open.

Holiday Inn Express and Fidelity Homestead Savings Bank are also set to begin construction at River Chase later this year.
