Benton Town Center

Posted by Sean Oct 22, 2012

Getting off 30 at exit 114 I saw a sign for “Benton Town Center” coming soon or future home or something along those lines. A quick google search of the name comes up with some kind of halfway house type thing and this mall illustration (pdf). Anyone know anything about this? Are those companies confirmed or is that just a sales pitch? It would be nice if it’s true, but I think that would be mighty tough to pull off with little press. Maybe it has gotten press and I’m just late to the party. -Sean

    According to info I got tonight at City Council meeting, there is indeed a shopping center going in at that location & the developer of the center already has letters of intent from several companies.  If all goes well, ground breaking could happen as early as sometime in 2013.  Didn’t get names of stores who are on the letter of intent list.

ADMIN EDIT April 4 2017: The following illustration was active as of 2014, but note that the most committed potential tenants submitted only a letter of intent. No lease contracts were signed. Also note that a couple of potential tenants for this shopping center decided to move into the new Shoppes of Benton near Alcoa Road and Interstate 30. Ex: TJ Maxx and ULTA Beauty.
