Retail transformation

A developer plans to convert a car wash in Lebanon County into a strip mall.

Lebanon County native Darryl Landis paid $1.2 million for Brownstown Car Wash Inc.'s property on Quentin Road, said Diane Hoch, an owner of Lebanon-based Real Estate Management Consultants Inc. Landis will spend an additional $1 million on renovations. Landis is transforming the property into a roughly 15,000-square-foot strip mall with space for about eight storefronts, Hoch said. Construction is expected to be completed near the end of October.

Real Estate Management Consultants, which manages the properties that Landis owns in Lebanon County, will relocate its office from 9 S. Ninth St. in Lebanon to the strip mall, Hoch said. The mall could also include a chiropractor, Chinese restaurant, beauty salon and insurance company.

In other Lebanon County news, the owners of the Arrowhead Springs Trout Hatchery Inc. in Millcreek Township closed the business and sold the property near the end of June. Connecticut-based Nestle Waters North American Inc. paid about $2.5 million for the property, according to the Lebanon County Recorder of Deeds.
