Quaker Village has seen changes over the years. Located on Friendly Avenue, between Guilford College Road and Dolly Madison Road, it opened in 1964, seven years after Friendly Center. For over forty years, it was doing fairly well. In 1972, a movie theatre opened, remaining open in some form until 2003. In 2010, the center filed for bankruptcy. In 2015, a neighborhood (mini) Wal-Mart opened there.
The above spot was the location of Boston Market, which was open in Quaker Village until 2023. Now, a Chipotle is opening in the Boston Market location. Chipotle should be a fit for the area, giving Guilford College students a fast option for a meal. As we were walking around the shopping center, we noticed that the space of the former Carolina Diner is now available. What to you think would be a good business for that spot. We love seeing existing retail space get repurposed- a great alternative to clearcutting new parcels of land. Retail stores and restaurants count on us to vote by visiting and spending. Hopefully, Quaker Village will remain strong for years to come. Keep you eye open and head to the new Chipotle and some of the other stores in Quaker Village.
Happy Wednesday!
