The two Macy’s stores at Regency closed in March 2016 as part of a national downsizing by the retailer.

Starbucks plans to locate in the former Bank of America branch along Quioccasin Road, Hargett said. That should open in March 2018.

Tenants have also been signed for new space to be built west of the Starbucks near where the current flyover entrance off Quioccasin Road is now.

Coming next spring will be Chipotle Mexican Grill, Sprint and MOD Pizza, a Seattle-based fast-casual pizza company.

The mall’s owners have plans to redesign the road entrance that would eliminate the flyover and add a traffic signal as a new entrance to the mall as well as to the Walmart-anchored shopping center across the street.

Work on the new entrance could begin this summer once the county gives final approval, Hargett said.

The developers are also talking to a fast-casual dining chain to locate on an outparcel at the corner of North Parham and Holly Hill roads.

“All along the way, we believe the soft goods retailers will show up as they see something actually happening,” Hargett said.
