GLASSBORO — Rowan Boulevard, the massive mixed-use strip linking Rowan University and downtown Glassboro, has more retailers coming.

Before the school year began, the university and Nexus Properties celebrated the opening of more buildings and a 934-car parking garage. That phase of the project, A3, contains about 40,000 feet of retail space that Nexus is in talks to lease, COO Dante Germano told NJ Advance Media this week. (Since the discussions are still preliminary, the tenants for the newly opened building cannot yet be named, he said.)

But Nexus has now filled the retail space in the Enterprise Center, across the street from 220 Rowan Boulevard. In the coming months, Germano expects to have finalized agreements with occupants for the newest completed buildings. Just in time for another 18,000 square feet of retail space to open up.

Alicia DiMichele Boutique

Occupying a space in the Enterprise Center, this will be the second location for the store started by DiMichele, who starred in Season 4 of "Mob Wives," a VH1 reality show. "Mob Wives" focuses on women whose family members have been convicted of mob-related crimes. Her husband Edward "Tall Guy" Garofalo Jr., who is serving a 7-year sentence for murder conspiracy, extortion and witness tampering, was reportedly an associate of the Colombo mafia family.

DiMichele opened her first boutique in 2015, in The Promenade at Sagemore in Marlton. She sells, among other clothing items, sweatshirts, leggings and bodysuits.

“She wanted to expand in a market that she felt was young and hip,” Germano said.

Germano is hopeful that the boutique will be an attraction for customers who can then spill out into the surrounding area to patronize the other shops and restaurants.

"Ultimately you want to have a few destinations," he said.

Mexican Mariachi Grill

This Jersey chain has three locations in Mercer County, including on TCNJ's campus. The Rowan location will be the first of the chain to serve alcohol, Germano said.

"It'll have cocktails and a sit-down component," he said. It will also have a "Chipotle-style" take-out option to cater to the schedules of college students.
