Women's Fashion Stores May Locate in The Shoppes at Fox River

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to reflect a new name for the Opus Development Corporation. It previously said Opus North, which changed its name to Opus Development Corporation in 2010.

New stores that are related to women’s fashion could soon be located in The Shoppes at Fox River, according to a top executive with the firm developing the site on Sunset Drive.

Businesses like Buffalo Wild Wings, Noodles & Co. and Target are already located in the complex. Some of the new businesses looking to locate in Waukesha already have stores in Milwaukee, according to John Meyers, vice president of real estate for Opus Development Corporation, the firm developing the project.

“We have been able to secure a number of tenants that are committed to us as we kick off phase two,” Meyers said.

Four retail businesses plan to lease the spaces, according to The Business Journal.

The preliminary plans for the second phase of the project were unanimously approved Wednesday night by the

Plan Commissioner Joan Francoeur said she was pleased with the attention the plans took to be sensitive to the nearby bike path and that the plans had added green space. But she cautioned that she may change her vote as Opus North did not release the names of the companies looking to lease the spaces.

“I’m very tempted to vote no on this because I don’t know what the use of the building will be,” she said.
