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.

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.

OfficeMax founder debuts wellness superstore in Columbus

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.
