California, MD – St. Maryโ€™s Countyโ€™s Park Development, just off Three Notch Road North in California, continues to expand. The site, which includes several restaurants, including Cracker Barrel Country Store, will soon have a major eye care chain and an expanding urgent care franchise as part of its mix. The development is owned and managed by Park Place California LLC.

A report posted by a local business blog last month reports Pearle Vision Center and Med Express are planning to build on parcels within the complex. For several years, Pearle, a 55-year-old franchise with over 1,000 locations in over 40 countries, has had an office just north of the now-defunct Bay Centre Shopping Center.

Med Express has locations in 18 states, including Maryland. In addition to St. Maryโ€™s County, the franchise is planning new locations in Waldorf, Clinton and Forestville.
