Dunkirk, MD – One of Calvert Countyโ€™s newest developmentsโ€”The Shoppes at Apple Greene in Dunkirkโ€”continues to take shape. On Thursday, Nov. 16 Drew Gorman, senior vice president for Echo Realty, the development company that owns the parcel just off northbound Route 4 where the shopping center is being built, confirmed that the iconic Mexican fast food eatery, Taco Bell, will have a location within the development.

As with all Taco Bellโ€™s, the Dunkirk location will be in a stand-alone building within the shopping center.

Gorman told TheBayNet.com that Echo Realty is in the process of finalizing โ€œa bunch of leasesโ€ for The Shoppes at Apple Greene, adding that โ€œ72 percent of the center is occupied in terms of square footage.โ€

The Shoppes at Apple Greene will include a Harris Teeter grocery and a Marshalls department store. The Harris Teeter operation will also include a gas station.

The Dunkirk location will be Calvert Countyโ€™s third Taco Bell, which currently has locations in Solomons and Prince Frederick. Based in Irvine, CA, Taco Bell was founded in 1962. The eatery serves โ€œTex-Mexโ€ cuisine and is noted for its tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos.
