Chipotle coming into new development.
If signs are any indication, the long-planned retail development for Main Street will have plenty of interesting tenants. A sign hanging on the fence surrounding the empty that will eventually house the retail complex indicates, Supercuts, Massage Envy and others will eventually filly the space. The City Council approved the development last month.
