Report: Discount Drug Mart to be anchor tenant at former Giant Eagle location

Discount Drug Mart will take over a long-vacant anchor space here at a former Giant Eagle location at The Shoppes of Oakwood Square, something that may give a big boost to the shopping center, reported Columbus Parent. DDM signed a 15-year lease to occupy about 30,000 sq.-ft. of space, the news outlet added.



“Our research has told us that we can find success there ... and be of real service and value to the community. ... We’re excited about the project. We think it’s a great spot for us,” Steve Ferris, government and public affairs director for the Medina, Ohio-based company, told the news source.
