A breakfast spot, a sports bar and a Mexican restaurant will be among the first businesses in the redeveloped Barley Mill Plaza.

They'll join Wegmans, the centerpiece of the new shopping center, which will be bordered by an office complex and a housing development. The new complex is being constructed in place of DuPont offices at Centre Road and Lancaster Pike in Greenville.

Local developer Greg Pettinaro announced the following tenants Monday.

  • First Watch: A Florida-based chain serving American-style breakfast, brunch and lunch.
  • McGlynns Pub: A Delaware sports bar and restaurant
  • La Tolteca: A Mexican restaurant 
  • ChristianaCare GoHealth Urgent Care: An urgent care center.
  • Performance Physical Therapy & Fitness: A local physical therapy clinic
  • Spa #1 Nails: A spa providing nail salon, waxing and eyelash services
Construction at the Wegmans in the Barley Mill Plaza in March 2022.

The businesses are scheduled to open in late summer or fall 2022, Pettinaro said. The developer anticipates having more tenants signed on soon.

Wegmans is slated to open in the fall, according to a company spokesperson.

The urgent care is scheduled to open May 23, according to a company spokesperson.

The development will include four brown brick buildings for the restaurants and retailers totaling 34,700 square feet. A 4,000-square-foot pad site is also being advertised, but has not been constructed.

At about 84,000 square feet, the Wegmans will follow the company's newer, smaller suburban store format. Wegmans' largest locations are almost double the size. Earlier plans for Barley Mill showed Wegmans at around 100,000 square feet.

To the south of Wegmans, opposite the retail buildings and adjacent to sports fields for Ursuline Academy, the housing portion of the project will include 80 luxury flats and 33 townhomes. The townhomes are currently being constructed by Montchanin Builders. They've sold 11 townhomes, Pettinaro said.

A 105,000-square-foot office building is also under construction behind the housing development near Odyssey Charter School. The developer has signed one "nationally-recognized office tenant" to take 22,000 square feet of the building. It is scheduled to be completed in the middle of next year, Pettinaro said.

The plans call for another 52,000-square-foot office building near the retail buildings along Lancaster Pike that hasn't been developed yet.

Other retail shops currently under construction in the Barley Mill Plaza in Greenville.  The site will be anchored by a Wegmans grocery store that recently began construction.

The three restaurants set to join Barley Mill Plaza have a presence in Delaware.

First Watch came to Delaware in 2018 as one of the first tenants in a strip center on Geoffrey Drive in Christiana.

McGlynns was established in Delaware in 1983 and has locations in Pike Creek's Polly Drummond shopping center, Glasgow's Peoples Plaza and on North State Street in Dover.

La Tolteca has a restaurant in the Concord Square shopping center on Concord Pike north of Silverside Road in Talleyville.
