Mission BBQ and MOD Pizza are coming to Towson Station, the new development planned at York Road and Bosley Avenue, according to a leasing brochure from H&R Retail. The site is also slated to be home to a fast-food drive-through restaurant, which is likely to be Chick-fil-A. [Update: A representative for the developer now says the northeast corner might house a bank instead of a fast-food restaurant but nothing has been finalized yet.]
The developer of the site, Caves Valley Partners, is hosting a community-input meeting on Thursday, June 28, at 7PM for the project, formerly home to the Towson fire station.
The site has long been a source of controversy. Caves Valley had sought to circumvent zoning requirements and put a Royal Farms gas station at the site, a plan that Towson Councilman David Marks initially supported but then opposed. The county council approved the gas station over Marks’ protests, but then the late County Executive Kevin Kamenetz stepped in and ordered the developer and the community to negotiate a new plan that didn’t include gasoline.
Mission BBQ is a patriotic-themed restaurant with locations from the midwest to the south and the east coast, including 14 Maryland locations. The closest location to Towson is in Perry Hall.
MOD Pizza is a Seattle-based chain serving artisan-style pizzas and salads that are individually sized and made on demand. It has stores across the county, it’s closest to Towson is near Hampden.
Men’s Wearhouse and a nail salon are also shown in the brochure. The H&R Retail representative handling the leasing was not immediately available for comment.
Mission BBQ is a great organization that supports our community Police, Firefighters, EMS and Military.
