History

Town & Country Village, which first opened in September 1946, was designed by John W. Davis, and built by contractor Jeré Strizek (1902–1979). [4] Original boutique tenants included Grebitus & Sons Jewelry, Cardinal Market, North American Title, Alta Pets, Ye Music Shop, Nina Sweet Gifts, Pardee’s Camera, Village Five & Ten, Don Burton Shoes, Ann Flander Sportswear, Village Corset Shop, The Rustic Garden, Porter’s Flowers, Kay’s Burger Kitchen, Steel’s Delicatessen and Brother’s Deli, Kendall’s Sportswear, Ann Skewe’s Village Beauty Shop, Broth’s Shoes, Phillis’s Fashions, The Bottle Shoppe, Anderson Brothers Pharmacy, Charlotte Green Fashions, Poly Dor’s Restaurant, Chuck Wagon Restaurant, Carnival of Fashion, Suburban Yardage, See's Candies, Bonnie and Gordon, Kid-E-Korral, Fleming Music, Jewelry Store, Gordon’s Home Store, William Glen Kitchen and Decorator’s store, Village Box Record Shop, Jackson Hats, Ive’s Hardware, US Post Office, Bank of America, Aldo’s French Restaurant, Spitzer Bro’s Meats, Bob’s Toyland, and May Gim’s Gifts. [5] Jere Strizek went on to manage the boutique center which included entertaining and signing Joseph Magnin to open in the Village. Town & Country Village became a favorite shopping destination county wide. [6] [7]

In the 1990s, Town & Country Village was expanded, which included the addition of Trader Joe’s, more retail space and a Lucky supermarket. It was later converted to Albertsons in 1999 and Save Mart in 2007. Save Mart was shuttered in March 2016. [8]

In 2013, most of the original Town & Country Village was demolished to make way for big-box retailers, which included Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross Dress for Less, and T. J. Maxx. In 2018, Ulta Beauty opened. In July of that year, Sprouts Farmers Market opened in a portion of the former Save Mart, followed by Five Below in June 2020, opening in another portion. [9] [10] Bed Bath & Beyond was shuttered on July 30, 2023 as part of the company’s bankruptcy and subsequent liquidation of its remaining stores.

Much of the original 1940s-built shopping center closest to the intersection of Marconi and Fulton remains, including Anderson Brothers Pharmacy, one of the original 1940s tenants still in operation.
