The Shops at Canton Crossing is an outdoor shopping center in Canton, Baltimore MD. It features over 40 local and national tenants.

History

The Shops at Canton Crossing was built on the site of a former ExxonMobil oil refinery that had operated there for over 100 years. [2] It is currently owned and managed by 28 Walker Development. Its current tenants include Target, Harris Teeter, Iron Rooster, and Old Navy.

However, the complex has undergone various tenant changes. In 2020, both Red Robin and On the Border closed their Canton Crossing locations, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. While their closures were said to be temporary, they became permanent and their signage was removed. [3] The former Red Robin space was taken over by UNO Pizzeria & Grill, which opened in 2021.

In July 2024, Atwater's closed its Canton Crossing location because of a lease disagreement with the owners, 28 Walker Development. The restaurant wanted a three-year lease, while the owners insisted for a five-year lease. [4] The former Atwater's space was replaced by Kneads in the fall of 2024. [5]

In August 2024, UNO Pizzeria & Grill closed their doors for unspecified reasons. This was the last UNO Pizzeria & Grill location in Baltimore after the Harborplace location closed in September 2022. After the tenant closed, there were no remaining UNO's locations in Baltimore. [6] In 2025, it was announced that the former UNO Pizzeria & Grill space was going to be taken over by Wonder, New York-based food hall tenant. [7] The space became the company's first location in Baltimore and opened on November 13, 2025. [8]
