Two more eateries slated to join Wegmans at Prickett Preserve in Lower Makefield

Dining options continue to expand in Lower Makefield’s newest upcoming shopping center.

Duck Donuts and La Grange, a casual French brasserie, are both slated to join Wegmans, as part of Prickett Preserve at Edgewood, a mixed-use development currently under construction across the street from Shady Brook Farm off Stony Hill Road.

The Prickett Preserve project includes plans for additional restaurants and retail stores, as well as a 200-unit luxury apartment community, and is being developed by DeLuca Homes, Equus Capital Partners and Envision Land Use.

Marc Bank, from David M. Bank Real Estate, the leasing representative for the retail portion of Prickett Preserve, said the shopping center provides 30,000-square feet of new space, which can be configured to fit a number of different retailers.

“The interest has been strong,” he said of working to secure more tenants. “We’re confident in leasing the remainder of the project.”

Here’s a breakdown of all that’s coming to Prickett Preserve so far:

Casual French dining at La Grange

La Grange, a new restaurant concept by the owners of La Stalla in Newtown, will offer a casual French experience, said Marc Masso, who owns La Stalla with his father, Vincent Masso.

“La Grange will be to French what La Stalla is to Italian — casual, but with stylish and chic food and ambiance,” he said.

The restaurant will go into an existing stone barn on the Prickett Preserve site, where Bank said work to renovate and expand the structure will begin in the next 30 days.

Plans for the restaurant include a glass-enclosed addition, outdoor patio dining, fireplace and a full bar, said Masso. Lunch and dinner will be served seven days a week, with a weekend brunch offered Saturdays and Sundays.

With construction having not yet begun, an opening date hasn’t been set, but Masso said he hopes to launch this year in the late summer or early fall.

Duck Donuts building a presence in Bucks County

Duck Donuts signed a lease last month for a 1,025-square foot space next door to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Bank said.

In addition to joining Prickett Preserve, Duck Donuts announced last month they are coming to the Shops at Valley Square in Warrington.

No opening date has been set for either location.

Duck Donuts, which started in 2007 in the Outer Banks in Duck, North Carolina, has since expanded its franchise to more than 100 locations across the country, where they offer made-to-order donuts with a selection of various coatings, toppings and drizzles to choose from.

Its menu also includes coffee, ice cream, donut sundaes and breakfast sandwiches.

Duck Donuts made its Bucks County debut with the opening of its Levittown location in 2020.

Wegmans to celebrate grand opening in March

Wegmans will open its doors March 20 for a grand opening celebration of its second Bucks County location, serving as an 88,000-square foot anchor store to Pricketts Preserve.

It will feature all the traditional departments Wegmans is known for, including prepared restaurant foods in its Market Café, such as sushi, pizza, chef-made salads and sandwiches; an large produce department with hundreds of different fruits and vegetables; and a wide variety of seafood, meat, bakery, deli and cheese options.

Steak and seafood cooked with flair at Firebirds

Firebirds Wood Fire Grill is a modern steakhouse offering upscale dining with signature items such as hand-cut, aged steaks and fresh seafood all cooked over an open flame.

It also features an open kitchen concept and its eye-catching Firebar, a horseshoe-shaped bar with backlit liquor displays, where customers can enjoy watching bartenders craft seasonal cocktails.

The restaurant aims to open by later this year, said Firebirds spokesperson Eleni Kouvatsos in an August interview. And this month, Bank confirmed construction has begun, putting the restaurant on track for a possible end-of-year opening.
