JohnstonCounty.Today has confirmed that the Smithfield Outlets on Equity Drive will soon be home to a new Starbucks, a Chipotle Mexican Grill and Buffalo Wild Wings.

The newly developed area will be known as Smithfield Landing, with two buildings.  One will contain Buffalo Wild Wings, while Starbucks and Chipotle will occupy the second.  An added benefit are the employment opportunities.  Buffalo Wild Wings is expected to employ 85 full and part time positions, Starbucks 30 and Chipotle 20-25.

The property is located at the intersection of South Equity Drive and Outlet Center Drive, which forms the gateway to the area’s premier shopping destination, Simon’s Carolina Premium Outlets.

Smithfield Landing consists of two buildings totaling 9,048 square feet. Smithfield Landing is scheduled to complete, and tenants are planning to open, by the late fourth quarter of 2015. The project team includes Carolina Holdings, Inc. as developer, McMillan Pazdan Smith as design architect, McKim & Creed as civil engineer, and Spell Construction as general contractor. Palmetto Bank provided the construction financing.
