Concord Marketplace

Concord Marketplace operates as a power center at the southeast corner of Concord Mills Boulevard and I-85 in Concord, North Carolina, positioned near Concord Mills, one of the region’s largest outlet and entertainment malls, within a trade area of more than 415,000 people carrying an average household income above $70,000.

BJ’s Wholesale Club anchors the property directly, with its associated BJ’s Gas Station, BJ’s Tire Center, BJ’s Optical and BJ’s Bakery all operating as integrated departments of the same store; Cracker Barrel and Boot Barn round out the larger tenant base, alongside a cluster of independent local Concord-area businesses including a tattoo studio, a comic shop and a donut bakery.

That BJ’s-centered, multi-department format, a single wholesale-club anchor incorporating its own gas station, tire center, optical shop and bakery within its footprint, reflects a specific big-box development pattern distinct from a conventional multi-anchor mall: rather than diversifying across multiple unrelated department-store anchors, the center concentrates its identity around one membership-based retailer’s full service ecosystem.
