The first tenant at the Shoppes on Fifth retail development at the former Ed Potter Mercedes-Benz site on West Fifth Avenue is now open. Salon Lofts, a Columbus-based company that offers loft space to self-employed beauty care professionals, opened about two weeks ago.
All other tenants are expected to be open by early June, said Paul Bloomfield, vice president of Kohr Royer Griffith, the real estate firm that purchased the property for the redevelopment.
Papa John’s Pizza will be the next tenant to open, he said. The anchor tenant will be Buffalo Wild Wings. Another notable tenant will be The Original Soupman, a restaurant chain founded by Al Yeganeh whose original restaurant in New York was the inspiration for an episode of “Seinfeld.” Panda Express, four local tenants and a national dry cleaning business will also be tenants.
