Two new tenants are planned for Willimantic Plaza, bringing the plaza to full occupancy!

-Town Fair Tire is coming soon to Willimantic! The tire shop will be opening a new location at Willimantic Plaza, 1589 West Main Street. Town Fair Tire has leased 6,400 square feet of space in the plaza; the space once home to Family Dollar.

-Carlson Procare has leased 4,590 square feet of space between Peking House and Wishing Well Laundromat. The space was previously home to BoxDrop Clearance Center. Carlson Procare, a physical therapist office, has an existing location at 162 Mansfield Avenue in Willimantic.

Timelines for either tenants openings were not immediately available. The plaza got a major boost last year when Ollie's Bargain Outlet opened a new store in the former Ocean State Job Lot.

​Stay tuned for more information.

Finally checked out the new Wasabi Steak & Sushi House in Coverty. The restaurant is located at 1203 Main Street in Coventry, CT.

The menu has extensive choices of sushi rolls, specialty rolls, sashimi, ramen, hibachi entrees, teriayki entrees, and much more. Find their full menu here: https://order.wasabicoventry.com/

The food was delicious, fresh, and quick. Staff was also very nice and attentive. I highly recommend you check out this new gem in Coventry.
