Norman Development has learned that Joann Fabrics is slated to be among the new tenants at Parkway Plaza on Ed Noble Parkway. Joann Fabrics currently leases space at Sooner Mall.
Joann Fabrics will take 20,000 square feet of the 30,000 from the former Bed Bath and Beyond (Suite 530) when they relocate to the former Office Max (Suite 620).
Joann is one of a handful of tenants opening in Parkway Plaza, including Cost Plus World Market and Party City.
When Joann Fabrics opens, a majority of the major tenant space at Parkway Plaza will once again be filed.
Parkway Plaza will undergo cosmetic updates to the exterior of the tenant spaces, including a remodel of the entire facade of the former Toys ‘R’ Us and splitting that suite into two rentable areas.
As we first reported in February, Parkway Plaza is set to go up for auction in April. The starting bid will be $3,800,000.
Built in 1996, Parkway Plaza was a retail destination in Norman for many years. In recent years, Parkway Plaza has been hit hard with stores and restaurants closing, or moving to other parts of Norman.
Parkway Plaza is currently home to Lumber Liquidators, Leslie’s Pool & Spa, Petsmart, Ross, Boot Barn, Hallmark, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Missal and the Paul Mitchell Salon School.
