Proposal Calls for Liquor Store at Vitarelli’s Site in Cherry Hill

A Voorhees businessman wants to raze the building that held Vitarelli’s, a long-time presence on the 1200 block of North Kings Highway, according to a proposal before the township’s planning board.

The proposal is one of two conversion projects expected to go before the planning board at its May 17 meeting.

The township panel also will consider an application by Azura Surgery Center of Cherry Hill to occupy a vacant store on eastbound Route 70 near Conestoga Drive.

A 5,880-square-foot building at the Vitarelli’s site would be used for the sale of wine, liquor and beer, says an application from Prakesh Patel.

It says the site, which is accessible from West Tampa Avenue, would be upgraded “with new curbing, paving, sidewalks and lighting.” The plan also calls for an additional 2,000 square feet of green space at the property.

The business would operate from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, the application says.

The existing building was erected around 1970 to hold six shops. A deli at the site eventually expanded into Vitarelli’s, which closed in 2020.

Patel, who acquired the building for $500,000 in October 2020, could not be reached for immediate comment.

In a separate project, Azura would occupy a vacant building that previously held a Calico Corners fabric shop.

The facility would offer “vascular access procedures” for patients with end-stage renal disease, its application says.

It also would provide a range of “interventional radiology procedures.”

Azura currently has a Cherry Hill office on the 200 block of South Kings Highway.

A representative of the surgery center could not be reached for comment Monday.

Wild Fork Foods Coming to Cherry Hill

Wild Fork Foods Cherry Hill New Jersey

It was a weird site on Haddonfield Road last spring – brand new buildings housing a Trader Joe’s, Home Goods, and TJ Maxx being constructed in the shadow of a similarly styled Pier One, which was closing.  Pier One closed last spring and has been empty since then, but MarltonPike.com has learned that Wild Forks Foods will soon call it home!  The former Pier One will be subdivided, with Wild Fork Foods creating a store of 3,543 square feet.

What is Wild Fork Foods?

It doesn’t appear there really is a comparison to make here, as it appears that Wild Fork has a unique business model.  “We set out to transform the way we shop for and consume meat.  By controlling every step of the process from farm to fork we ensure you get the highest quality, biggest selection, and most consistent eating experience.”

Currently, there are only 8 Wild Fork locations – all in Florida. But the company specializes in ‘blast freezing’ meat, so consumers around the country can order frozen meat online to be delivered to their door.  What is ‘blast freezing’?  Blast freezing is a process of rapidly freezing meat, 10 times faster than the normal freezing process.  Typically, the slow process of freezing meat causes ice crystals to damage the cell walls of food, reducing the quality of meat.  With blast freezing, the rapid process does not allow large ice crystals to form, so when your meat defrosts, the quality of meat is much higher than your typical frozen meat.  At Wild Foods, they blast freeze at -40 degrees to maintain peak freshness.

And what a selection of meat Wild Fork offers!  While it has your typical cuts of beef, pork, chicken, and lamb, it also has specialty meats – alligator, ostrich, yak, duck, bison, elk, venison, veal, rabbit, goat, octopus, calamari…. The list goes on!

The typical store is lined with freezers on the outer walls, with additional freezer cases in the aisles.  It is not like a typical supermarket – you won’t find paper products, cat food, or vitamins – just meat and produce.

We will keep you updated as construction commences and let you know an opening date as soon as we find out!  Current schedules show construction is expected to start in late June, with completion in late September.

Cherry Hill Porsche Dealership Seeks Planning Board Approval for Building Expansion

Cherry Hill Imports, the new car dealer whose Route 70 campus includes showrooms for Porsche, Volkswagen and Audi, wants to expand its Porsche building.

The applicant, M.B.J. Associates LLC, owns the 5.2-acre lot at 2261 Route 70 West and is a unit of Cherry Hill Imports. Besides the three dealerships, the family-owned company founded in 1978 also operates Mercedes-Benz of Cherry Hill and Land Rover and Jaguar dealers in Cherry Hill.

An application for preliminary and final site plan approvals and bulk variances is on the agenda for next Monday’s Cherry Hill Planning Board meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.

The plan, according to a review letter from the Township Department of Community Development, would:

  • Expand the Porsche showroom by 2,020 square feet.
  • Expand the Porsche service area on the side of the building by 1,153 square feet.
  • Expand the rear of the building, where the Volkswagen service area is located, by 1,066 square feet.

A 1,736-square-foot overhead canopy also would be installed toward the front, but on the side, of the Porsche showroom, according to the plans.

The Township Department of Community Development called for M.B.J. to discuss parking on the site during the board meeting. “Testimony shall be provided regarding any expected changes in trip generation and parking needs when comparing the existing site to the site under full build-out conditions,” the review letter stated.

In 1984, the dealership was granted permission for two additions, one 4,092 square feet and one 483 square feet, according to the review letter. In 1999, the former Chow Wagon Restaurant closed and in 2003 the Audi dealership opened, the review noted.

Tesla to Go Before Cherry Hill Planning Board with Plan to Add a Vehicle Inventory Lot

Tesla Cherry Hill New Jersey

Reflecting a continued need to store car inventories near dealer showrooms, Tesla Inc. has proposed to the Cherry Hill Planning board to add more than 100 parking spaces to its existing storage site on Old Cuthbert Road in Cherry Hill.

In the last year, the Land Rover and Jaguar dealership operating in Cherry Hill got zoning board permission to store vehicles on a lot on Haddonfield Road, and Cherry Hill Dodge received Planning Board approval to add to its lot at Route 70 and Chambers Avenue. Both plans came under fire by those who live in the Locustwood neighborhood next to the dealerships.

But the latest request — from Tesla for the dealership at 1605 Route 70 — is for property that doesn’t abut a large residential area. The 1840-50 Old Cuthbert Road site is bordered by Route 295 to the west and several commercial buildings, including the Cherry Hill Health & Racquet Club.

The Planning Board will consider Tesla’s application at its meeting on Monday at 7 p.m. The agenda and how to attend virtually are here. A detailed description of the plan is available here on the township site.

Tesla seeks site-plan and variance approvals for 106 parking spaces on the property to temporarily park and stage its vehicles. Between 25 and 50 cars a week would be delivered on car-carrier trucks, according to Tesla’s plan. At the end of every quarter, the number delivered weekly would rise to 50 to 100 vehicles.

The carmaker now stores about 150 vehicles in a 625,346-square-foot building on the 15-acre property, which is owned by 1660 Suckle Highway LLC of Hillside, Union County, according to the proposal. 

“This proposed location will significantly reduce the number of inventory and trade-in vehicles stored at the Route 70 location, which will improve the current operations at the retail and service facility,” Tesla states in its plan.

A review of the plan by the township Department of Community Development acknowledges an annoying practice of car dealerships documented by neighbors in the Land Rover and Cherry Hill Dodge proposals.

“The applicant shall provide testimony regarding the process for locating vehicles on the property to ensure that car alarms are not being used as a means to locate vehicles,” the township review letter stipulates.

No trees would be removed from the wooded lot, the township review notes. In Cherry Hill, the removal of any more than three live trees requires Planning Board approval for any property owner, according to the township.

Chipotle’s New Site in Cherry Hill Has Drive-Thru Lane for Digital Customers

This town has its second Chipotle Mexican Grill — and its first Chipotlane.

The new restaurant, which opened Thursday at Route 70 and Brace Road, is part of an ongoing expansion in South Jersey and elsewhere by the California-based chain.

It also reflects a growing preference for the Chipotlane —a drive-thru lane that allows customers to pick up digital orders without leaving their cars.

The lanes do not take conventional drive-thru orders.

Chipotle included the drive-thru lanes at 100 of the some 160 restaurants it opened last year. It ended 2020 with Chipotlanes at 170 of its more than 2,750 locations.

The Chipotlanes boost “customer access and convenience while also helping increase new restaurant sales, margins, and returns,” Chipotle said last month in announcing financial results for 2020.

The firm noted digital sales grew by almost 175 percent last year and accounted for 46.2 percent of all sales.

Chipotle posted annual sales of $6 billion, up by 7.1 percent from 2019. It said net income climbed more than 5 percent to $355.8 million.

The chain expects to open about 200 restaurants this year. Each location typically employs about 25 workers, the company says.

Chipotle’s “mission” is to make the firm’s food “more accessible to everyone,” said Erin Wolford, the firm’s senior director of external communications.

“We’re thrilled to open another location in Cherry Hill,” she said.

Chipotle also has an outlet on the 800 block of Haddonfield Road in Cherry Hill, about two miles from its new location.

Elsewhere in South Jersey, the chain plans restaurants — each with Chipotlanes — in Bellmawr, Glassboro and Gloucester Township.

A Chipotle is expected to open in late spring at Collegetown Shopping Center, a retail complex in the midst of a redevelopment effort on Delsea Drive in Glassboro.

Gloucester Township’s zoning board in January approved a proposed Chipotle at the former site of a Denny’s Restaurant on the 1400 block of Blackwood-Clementon Road.

The proposed restaurant would occupy about 2,280 square feet in a planned 5,640-square-foot building.

The rest of the building is intended for retail use, according to information submitted to the zoning board.

And Bellmawr’s planning board in November approved a proposed 2,300-square-foot Chipotle on the Black Horse Pike near Browning Road.

Both the Gloucester Township and Bellmawr restaurants are expected to open later this year.

Rising From the Ashes: Short Hills Shops Owner Proposes Rebuild in Cherry Hill

The owner of the Short Hills Town Center in Cherry Hill plans two new retail/office buildings where several shops were destroyed by fire in March last year.

Parking for the new development on Evesham Road would include spaces at the site of the former Tír na NÓg restaurant, which was demolished last year. The restaurant was in the Short Hills farmhouse, which was more than 100 years old.

A Starbucks restaurant, which was in the building destroyed by fire, would anchor the proposed retail building. The Starbucks would have a drive-up window, which the former one did not, according to plans filed with the Cherry Hill Zoning Board of Adjustment by owner Town Center at Short Hills Cherry Hill LLC of Old Bridge, Middlesex County.

The proposal is scheduled to go before the zoning board on March 18, although possible site plan changes could delay the presentation, according to the township.

Short Hills’ plans call for:

  • A 10,560-square-foot retail building that includes a 2,241-square-foot Starbucks with a dining patio. Plans show another tenant occupying 2,275 square feet and four tenants occupying the remainder of the space. Starbucks is the only named tenant in the plans. A restaurant might occupy the second large space, according to the plans.
  • A 7,875-square-foot office/retail building with about equal space divided between two tenants. Plans indicate a doctor’s or dentist’s office could occupy the building.

Shops in the former building, which included Starbucks and the Classic Cake bakery, faced Evesham Road to the south. The new shops would face east, fronting a parking lot, according to the plans. Starbucks and its drive-through lanes would face Evesham Road.

The owner also proposes right-turn entrance and right-turn exit driveways into the shopping area. The site now has only a right-turn-out exit. The shops and offices also can be accessed from Short Hills Drive.

70and73.com reported last July that the cause of the fire was “undetermined,” according to a report from Cherry Hill Chief Fire Marshal Thomas Shemeley.

However, a joint investigation by insurance investigators and others representing parties in the fire insurance claim determined that, at the time of the fire, a developer was adding a new transformer and during a switchover from the old transformer the conductors for part of the plaza were cross connected with the new transformer, energizing the neutral leg of the wiring system when power was restored, according to Shemeley’s report.

“When the power was transferred over…it appears there was almost an immediate fire,” Cherry Hill Fire Chief Chris Callan told 70and73.com in July.

TD Bank Closing Cherry Hill Location, 12 Others In NJ

The TD Bank in Cherry Hill is among the 81 closing across the country, a company spokesperson confirmed Friday.

The TD Bank in Cherry Hill is among 81 stores across the country and 13 in New Jersey that are slated to close, the bank said on Friday.

A TD Bank spokesperson confirmed with Patch Friday that the bank at 1506 Berlin Road in Cherry Hill is among those slated to close.

The decision to close the 81 stores, roughly 6 percent of the company’s total storefronts, comes as part of a continuing re-evaluation of how TD Bank serves customers, according to a statement from the company.

“In reaching a decision to close specific TD Bank stores, we consider many business factors, including the number of customers visiting our stores, transaction volumes, the location’s proximity to other TD Bank stores and the number of customers who use multiple store locations,” company officials said.

The bank has already begun notifying customers of the closures.

Layoffs are likely to follow this news, according to an NJ.com report, but the company hasn’t revealed how many employees will be affected. The publication also reported that the stores will close as of April 23.

Here are the 13 storefronts to close:

  • 601 College Drive, Blackwood
  • 1506 Berlin Road, Cherry Hill
  • 351 Midland Avenue, Garfield
  • 1636 Route 38, Lumberton
  • 571 New York Avenue, Lyndhurst

Hobby Lobby Plans to Open 2 N.J. Locations in early 2021

Hobby Lobby is opening two new craft stores in New Jersey in 2021, the company has announced.

A Cherry Hill location is expected to open in January, with a Paramus store following suit in February. The Cherry Hill store will be located at Hillview Shopping Center on Route 38, and the Paramus store will be located at 545 NJ 17. Both stores will take storefronts vacated by Babies R Us.

Both locations are looking to hire between 35 and 50 employees, with full-time pay of $17 an hour and part-time pay of $12 or $11 an hour, depending on the location.

“The success of our stores in New Jersey is a good indicator that Cherry Hill (and Paramus) shoppers will be pleased with the quality, selection and value we offer in the craft and home decor market,” said Director of Advertising Kelly Black.

Hobby Lobby stores sell a mix of craft supplies and home decor. All stores are open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and are closed on Sundays.
