Steger Creek opens this weekend
Attention shoppers. If you're in the mood for seasonal decorations, Christmas ornaments, Vera Bradley merchandise and more, Steger Creek opens its new Blacksburg store this weekend. Michael Pace, the owner, said the new store at Blacksburg's First & Main retail center will be open this Sunday. And it may open its doors on Saturday, depending on how quickly the store's final arrangements come together. On Sunday, Steger Creek is hosting a holiday open house at all of its locations, which include a Roanoke County store (formerly named Salem Creek) and a shop in Forest, near Lynchburg.
Pace told me that he decided to open the Blacksburg store because the developer of First & Main sought him out. The developer wanted a regional retailer to locate there, and Steger Creek seemed to fit the bill, Pace said.
At 3,500 square feet, the new Blacksburg Steger Creek isn't as large as the Roanoke County store. Still, Pace believes that the New River Valley store will be a success, because the retailer has a number of regular customers who live in the New River Valley.

Also, Blue Ridge Mountain Sports recently announced that it's coming to First & Main. Check out New River Notebook for details.

So what's going on with McAlister's Deli over at Towers? Is that still a go, or has the economy bagged that one? Heard the rumor that the REAL Fast Freddy may be opening up a new place in West Salem, hint...hint(Krystal), car show and all?

The franchisee for McAlister's Deli told me that the plan is to to open the restaurant around Nov. 17. The sign already is up at Towers Shopping Center, and there are renovations going on in the space.
