Tri-County Towne Center lures Hobby Lobby

October 2011

OnSite Retail Group is pleased to announce two of its principals, Andrew Feinblatt and Kristine Davidson, have brokered a long term lease to relocate craft and home décor superstore Hobby Lobby to Tri-County Towne Center in Springdale, OH, owned and managed by the local Gilhart family.  Hobby Lobby was searching for an opportunity to improve its position in the bustling Springdale retail market, and Tri-County Towne Center proved to have just the right blend of easy access and high visibility to the heavy stream of traffic flowing along Princeton Pike directly across the street from Tri-County Mall, the second largest retail development in the Greater Cincinnati region.

Hobby Lobby’s new store at Tri-County Towne Center will measure 54,980 square feet store, and will sit adjacent to Woodcraft, another newcomer to Tri-County Towne Center.  The store is expected to open in all 2012.  The 276,000 square foot Tri-County Towne Center, originally developed and named Princeton Plaza, was built in 1962.  In 2011, the shopping center began an extensive renovation project with new facades, signage and color scheme.


Qdoba Mexican Grill to bring big burritos, big flavors to Western Hills

October 2011

Kristine Davidson of OnSite Retail Group just sealed a deal to place her client, Qdoba Mexican Grill, in the Kroger-anchored Western Village shopping center on Glenway Avenue on Cincinnati’s west side.  Qdoba’s new 2,260 square foot restaurant is expected to open in Spring 2012 at 6173 Glenway Avenue.

Andrew Feinblatt sets stage for Max-Wellness debut at Easton Town Center

October 2011

Andrew Feinblatt of Cincinnati, OH-based OnSite Retail Group orchestrated an exciting opportunity for client Max-Wellness in the Midwest’s premier retail development, Easton Town Center, in Columbus, Ohio.  The deal, which took over a year to come together, resulted in the first expansion store outside of the company’s initial four prototype stores in suburban Cleveland and Florida.  The partners behind Easton, The Georgetown Company and Steiner + Associates, known for being very selective in their choice of retail tenants at Easton, weren’t initially convinced Max-Wellness was the right fit for the iconic 1,800,000 square foot mixed-use development.  But the unique new retail concept, however, impressed the partners and allowed Feinblatt to negotiate a deal in which the new 5,000 square foot Max-Wellness store not only is the anchor tenant in a new phase of Easton Town Center, but its prototype inspired much of the design for the new 18,000 square foot building. 

Max-Wellness, through its retail stores and online presence, features an unsurpassed selection of over 7,000 comprehensive health care products and services for individuals of all ages through each phase of their life.  Max -Wellness' extensive offerings enhance living, help prevent illness and treat health issues, and many of their unique products are not available in typical drug and general merchandise stores.  Max-Wellness continuously adds new products and services to its line-up ensuring that Max-Wellness customers have access to the latest innovative products.

OnSite Retail Group client Max-Wellness debuts in Columbus - Carrie Ghose reports in Columbus Business First

OfficeMax founder debuts wellness superstore in Columbus
Date: Monday, October 10, 2011, 2:22pm EDT - Last Modified: Monday, October 10, 2011, 2:49pm EDT
Oh, baby boomers, you and your coveted wallets.

Cleveland retail mogul Michael Feuer is bringing his latest nutrition and health products concept, Max-Wellness LLC, to Columbus.

If the Max part sounds familiar, Feuer was the co-founder of merchant OfficeMax Inc. (NYSE:OMX) and its CEO until 2003, and he’s used “Max” in every company name since.

Max-Wellness started with four prototype stores in the Cleveland suburbs and Florida last year, and the store at Easton Town Center marks the first expansion. The privately held company did not disclose first-year revenue. Not much is changing from the prototypes, except that the chain will emphasize its price-matching guarantee.

The store is like the retail side of a pharmacy combined with a supplements store, selling a range of products to prevent or treat illness, from energy bars to diabetic test strips to orthopedic braces to wheelchairs. Sales staffers carry iPads loaded with the company’s Max-Answers app, which walks through various questions about symptoms to recommend products. The company said the algorithm is based on medical research.

Feuer said he wanted to create an all-inclusive selection for aging boomers pursuing healthier, longer lives.

Max-Wellness recently rolled out smaller in-hospital stores in the Cleveland area, aimed at selling home-care products needed by discharged patients.

Columbus is long known as a test market, and several chains have tried out some of their first shops or restaurants at Easton.

Eric Abroms represents Pure Barre in latest expansion

September 2011
Interested in a transformed body and a clear head in just one hour?  Beginning in October, northeast Cincinnati residents looking for a total body workout will soon have an exciting new fitness studio to visit.  Eric Abroms of OnSite Retail Group recently represented new Pure Barre franchisee, Janna Williams, in a new lease at Deerfield Towne Center Village Square on Deerfield Road, near Regal Cinemas.  The new studio, set to open October 19th, focuses on the Pure Barre Technique, which as explained in the company’s website is a total body workout that burns fat and produces lifted seats, toned arms, thinned thighs and flat abs by fusing elements of ballet, pilates and weights in a 55-minute intense session.

The Pure Barre Technique utilizes a ballet barre on which individuals perform small isometric movements set to music.  The low impact technique protects joints, since no bouncing or jumping is involved.  The result is an effective, efficient and safe workout where participants typically see positive changes in their bodies after 10 classes.    Following each strength section of the workout, participants undergo a stretching session in order to condition muscles without building mass.   Women fighting the battle of the bulge are excited to hear the workout targets the areas of the body that are typically the toughest: abs, hips, seat and arms.  The workout is also mentally therapeutic, like yoga and meditation, as each session requires concentration which blocks out life’s stress for the hour-long workout.

The new studio in Deerfield Township marks a return to the Cincinnati area for Monroe, Ohio native Janna Williams.  Growing up, Williams was very active in dance and soccer, starting her dance training at the age of 3 at the Academy of Dance Arts.  Williams danced through high school and also played on a state championship select soccer team.  She later earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky where she was a member of the competition dance team.  After graduating from U.K., Williams taught special education for six years and earned a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Eastern Kentucky University.  Williams had her first Pure Barre experience in Lexington, KY, and quickly became convinced of its benefits of mind and body.

Williams’ new studio will be the third Pure Barre location in the Cincinnati area following studios in Oakley and Ft. Wright, KY.  Pure Barre, founded in 2001 by choreographer, dancer and fitness guru, Carrie Rezabek Dorr, now has over 70 locations in 22 states.



TJX Companies brings its HomeGoods concept to Dayton

August 2011
Eric Abroms and Scott Saddlemire of OnSite Retail Group recently negotiated a deal on behalf of The TJX Companies, Inc. with shopping center owner Continental Properties to deliver the Dayton area’s first HomeGoods store.  The new 28,786 square foot store set to open next Spring will be located in Beavercreek, Ohio at Beavercreek Shopping Center at 2500 N. Fairfield Road, directly opposite Mall at Fairfield Commons.

HomeGoods, TJX’s chain of off-price home fashions stores, offers exclusively home fashions.  The new Beavercreek store will feature a wide selection of giftware, home basics, furniture and accent furniture, lighting, rugs, bedding, decorative accessories, children’s furniture, seasonal merchandise, and wall décor, as well as items for the kitchen and dining room, among other fashions for the home.

A Fortune 500 company with nearly $22 billion in revenues in 2010 and over 2,800 stores in six countries, TJX currently operates five stores in the Dayton area under the TJ Maxx and Marshalls brands.  The company’s HomeGoods brand was introduced in 1992, and continues to grow nationally.  At the end of 2010, TJX was operating 336 HomeGoods stores.



Huntington Bank set to move, expand Delhi banking office

August 2011

Huntington’s new office will be 3,400 square feet – over 35% larger than its existing office, also located in Delhi Shopping Center.  Huntington Bank first came to Delhi in 1993 with the acquisition of Charter Oak Savings.  Huntington decided the existing banking office, originally built by Charter Oak, was undersized and lacked adequate visibility.  Putting the deal together on behalf of Huntington was Scott Saddlemire of OnSite Retail Group.  Huntington Bank currently operates 37 banking offices in the Greater Cincinnati area.  Huntington Bank, with $52 billion in assets, serves customers in 6 states – Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania & West Virginia – through its network of over 600 branches, 1,300 ATMs and via online and mobile banking services.

Discount Retailers Filling Up Vacant Space - Tom Demeropolis of the Cincinnati Business Courier quotes Eric Abroms of OnSite Retail Group

Business Courier - by Tom Demeropolis
Date: Friday, July 1, 2011, 1:50pm EDT

Retail space is being gobbled up by discount retailers.

The trend of discount retailers back filling space that emptied during the recession spans the nation and the Cincinnati market is experiencing it, as well.

Business Courier subscribers can read about a new-to-market discount retailer
signing leases for two stores and looking for at least two more in this week’s print edition.

Eric Abroms, partner/broker with retail brokerage firm OnSite Retail Group in Sycamore Township, said discounters like TJX Cos., Inc. see the Tri-State as a growth market. He’s been doing a lot of work finding spots for its Marshalls, Home Goods and T.J. Maxx locations in the market.

“These retailers are doing very well today,” Abroms said.

And while they may not be top-tier retailers, they represent a segment that is growing as the economic recovery has slowed. Abroms said TJX Cos. (NYSE: TJX) has opened more stores in the past two years than in any two-year period in the company’s history.

The story in Cincinnati is being played out in other parts of the nation, as the Wall Street Journal reports.

While these discounters have performed well during the recession, with shoppers tightening their belts and trading down on everything from shoes to soda, Abroms said the plan for discounters is to keep these customers after the economy picks up.

“They plan to gain them with customer service and keep them as time goes on,” he said.
