Daytona Beach just picked up a fresh wok-fired option: Pei Wei Asian Kitchen has opened its first Volusia County location at the Shoppes at Williamson Crossing, giving locals another quick-service stop for made-to-order Asian dishes along the fast-growing LPGA Boulevard retail corridor.
According to the Orlando Business Journal, the fast-casual chain’s new outpost slots into a roster of national retailers that developers have been carefully curating for the area. The Business Journal also notes that the opening is being read as one more signal that leasing activity along both Williamson and LPGA boulevards remains strong.
A commercial listing for the Shoppes at Williamson Crossing places the center at the intersection of LPGA Boulevard and Williamson Boulevard and describes it as a multi-acre retail development marketed to national tenants. LoopNet materials state that the project offers both outparcel and inline opportunities, which have helped draw a mix of grocers, restaurants and automotive retailers.
LPGA corridor keeps expanding
Developers have been steadily stacking big-name brands along this stretch of LPGA Boulevard, reshaping the trade area for shoppers and nearby residents in the process. As reported by the Orlando Business Journal, tenants announced earlier this year include national restaurant and retail chains that signal investors are still bullish on the corridor.
Pei Wei’s regional comeback
The Daytona Beach debut is also part of a broader regional relaunch for the Pei Wei brand. Earlier this year, Hoodline reported on a new Lake Nona location, highlighting the chain’s push back into Central Florida.
Pei Wei’s own press materials, detailed on Pei Wei's site, point to recent openings such as a redesigned restaurant in Yukon, Oklahoma, as the company tests refreshed interiors and menu items across select stores.
For anyone looking to check out the new spot in person, the restaurant is located in the Shoppes at Williamson Crossing. Property leasing materials remain the clearest source for center-specific details and pad availability. For the most current information on the site and leasing options, see the center’s listing on LoopNet.
