Teri wrote in here and said, “Since you are so good at sleuthing around….what are the two new places being built at Gateway shopping center. And why are these new projects always such a big secret that they don’t put up a sign telling us what’s being built? Inquiring minds want to know!”
Well thanks to Teri and her inquiring mind the answers have fallen from the sky. The short answer is a Meineke Car Care Center and a Dollar Tree.
The Dollar Tree seems a bit out of place since Heritage doesn’t seem like the target demographic but what do we know. Maybe people who buy the really nice homes in Heritage are so frugal that a Dollar Tree makes perfect sense.
We reached out to both companies for an official statement on the new locations and they were as silent as the invisible signs.
But for you Teri we decided to drive over there to take these photos of the current construction. Modern journalism at its finest.
On the lot closest to Jones Dairy Road, a Meineke Car Care Center is being built.

A Dollar Tree is under construction on the lot closer to Heritage Lake Road.




That’s interesting. I thought one of them was going to be the new Wake Forest Charter School.
I think that is being built over on Burlington Mills Road or at least a charter school is. Not sure what the name is.
That’s Endeavor Charter Academy (they are currently on Forum Drive).
Thanks for the great detective work!! Teri
