FNRP Adds Several National Brands to Brandywine Crossing

Brandywine, MD – (Mar. 26, 2025) – First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a leading national private equity commercial real estate firm, completed three key lease agreements at Brandywine Crossing in Brandywine, Maryland. New leases with Burlington, Another Broken Egg Cafe, and Buffalo Wild Wings GO strengthen the center’s position as a top retail and dining destination. 

Burlington, a national off-price retailer, is set to open in 2026 in the current 25,310-square-foot space occupied by JOANN Fabric and Crafts. FNRP secured a new lease with Burlington immediately after JOANN Fabric and Crafts declared bankruptcy, reflecting the firm’s strong industry relationships and leasing expertise. 

“Our ability to quickly secure leases with high-demand brands like Burlington, Another Broken Egg Cafe, and Buffalo Wild Wings GO underscores our strength in executing complex deals swiftly and efficiently,” said Fred Battisti, Chief Revenue Officer at FNRP. “We’re not just filling space—we’re enhancing Brandywine Crossing with brands that fill critical gaps, ensuring the center remains a top destination and continues driving strong returns for our investors.” 

Another Broken Egg Cafe, known for its Southern-inspired breakfast and brunch, and Buffalo Wild Wings GO, a quick-service concept offering takeout and delivery, are both expected to open in Q4 2025. Their arrival introduces new breakfast and convenient dining options to the center. 

“These new retailers enhance the center’s retail and dining offerings, providing the local community with exciting new options,” added Candace Gschwind, Director of Leasing at FNRP. We’re confident they’ll draw more visitors and become key destinations in the area.” 

Brandywine Crossing’s strategic location, high-traffic volume, and strong co-tenancy with national brands such as Target and Safeway continue to make it a desirable location for retailers. Recent long-term lease renewals with Bonefish Grill and Panda Express reinforce the center’s stability and growth potential.
