Childcare provider Chunky Cheeks Kollege Too is coming to Morrell Plaza on Frankford Avenue/Route 13 in Northeast Philadelphia, expanding its footprint in the region. Commercial real estate services firm Levin Management Corporation (LMC) serves as exclusive leasing and managing agent for the 103,000-square-foot shopping center.
Nicole Anderocci, LMC leasing representative, orchestrated the 5,200-square-foot transaction on behalf of property ownership.
Owned and operated by Tenille Saunders, a local resident and experienced childcare entrepreneur, Chunky Cheeks Kollege Too operates five successful centers along Torresdale Avenue. The new Morrell Plaza location will offer safe and nurturing all-day care for infants and young children, along with a before-and after-school program for children up to age 13. The center will implement a creative curriculum and maintain extended hours of operation from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. to meet the needs of working families.
“As a business owner, Morrell Plaza is a location I’ve wanted to be at for quite some time, and it’s exciting to see that dream become a reality,” Saunders said. “There is increased demand for childcare in this area, particularly for those seeking all-day care or care outside of the ‘traditional’ 9-to-5 workday. Our after-school program will accommodate about 30 children and help fill that critical need.”
Morrell Plaza is anchored by a 63,000-square-foot ShopRite and features a tenant mix that includes Yamato Sushi & Hibachi, Freedom Credit Union, Wingstop, Supercuts, Dunkin’ and Mr. Wish Bubble Tea, with Al-Sham Mediterranean Restaurant coming soon.
