Source: Reading Eagle, October 27, 2025.

The article reports purchase by Newman Development Associates LLC in November 2024 and demolition/site preparation. Status: Approved reflects the township approval reported by the source. Site clearing was documented, but the report did not establish a construction timetable or opening date. Completion and current operations were not verified as of October 22, 2026.
