That Fun Place IndyThat Fun Place, a family-oriented amusement center in Greenfield, plans to open a location in Castleton. Attractions range from black-light miniature golf to bumper cars, arcade games to simulated gem mining. The amusement center plans to take about 14,000 square feet in the Castleton Corner shopping center behind Castleton Square Mall, a few doors down from Dave & Buster's.

Salon Lofts IndySalon Lofts, a Columbus, Ohio-based chain that develops and leases salon suites to stylists, is entering the Indianapolis market in a big way. Three new locations are set to join the first, next door to The Fashion Mall at Keystone in the same building as Ocean Prime. Planned new locations include 740 Fry Road in Greenwood, 2750 E. 146th St. in Carmel, and 2316 E. 116th Street in Carmel. The salons take about 5,000 square feet.

Five Below IndyFive Below, a unique dollar-store concept targeting children and teens, is taking 9,300 square feet in the Castleton Crossing shopping center just east of 82nd Street and Allisonville Road. The Pennsylvania chain's offerings include sporting goods, games, books, DVDs, snacks, jewelry and iPhone accessories, all priced at $5 or less. Five Below opened its first central Indiana location in Carmel last year. An earlier post is here.

Elsewhere:

  • Marie Gabriel Couture, a locally owned bridal salon, is taking about 4,000 square feet on the second floor of the Echelon Building at the northwest corner of 82nd Street and Allisonville Road. Owners Young Colling and daughter Anne-Marie are planning a grand-opening event for Jan. 18.
  • Bella Pizzeria is planning a new location in a strip center across 86th Street from The Fashion Mall at Keystone. The homegrown chain is taking 1,700 square feet.
  • JCPenney plans to remodel two local stores as it upgrades locations nationwide in support of a new everyday-low-price model and to create branded stores within the store. The local stores set for upgrades are in Castleton and along Michigan Road just north of 86th Street.

  • Good Luck to That Fun Place
    I've been to "That Fun Place" with some younger relatives. The kids love the place. The owner has done a nice job making a place similar to Chuck-E-Cheese. Prices seem to be about the same, and if a parent or grandparent can't say "No" to the kids, you can drop a boat load of money there!! I wish them success with their Castleton location.

  1. So the Mayor adds another non value added layer to having a vehicle towed? Whereby the City Government RECIEVES AN ILLEGAL KICKBACK FROM A LGOISTICS COMPANY THAT SUBS THE WORK TO LOCAL TOW COMPANIES? What is the service the City performs for receiving the "tribute"? This is RICO!!!!! What a corrupt and unnecessary layer. What a dirtbag Mayor and his cronies.

  2. Owner occupied housing. Clear enough?

  3. So people think I am paranoid. It's from experience in dealing with puds requested by developers who make major donations themselves to representatives, have nice fund raisers for those running for office and hide through pac's. then there are the public relation firms. You will note some pr comments below. You there Clyde Lee? My opinion. Commercial along 421, great. Multifamily housing, terrible idea that will change the town. Senior condos or zero lot line homes west, great. I suggest keeping all entries to commercial areas at 421. All entries to owner occupied on sycamore. Will keep the traffic on sycamore down some. Two other things. You can't trust what will be there in 10 years. Steve builds quality stuff, but areas change over time. Look at the changes at the wall mart center at 86th and 421 over the last 10 years. Look at the apartments and neighborhoods behind St Vincent's. Raintree properties WILL decrease in value if commercial and multifamily goes in near. It has already been happening around the bridges area. The houses that have been sold recently are way below market. Several deals not closed due to the Illinois construction and the whole unsurety of the bridges. It's pretty simple, Zionsville will approve the whole thing because the city council has been groomed over a LONG period of time for this. I might even suggest some are in their position as a result of this.

  4. Esta, do you have a dog in this fight? You seem to really want to knock anyone against this project. No, I didn't move to Indiana for the architecture. I moved here for that red barn in the field. The horses and fields of corn. A place that is NOT overdeveloped. There are plenty of nearby places in Indianapolis that could be REDEVELOPED instead.

  5. RKW - OK, we get it, you're paranoid. The question is, are you paranoid enough? Greg - Yes, Pittman(s) is (are) at it again. They are developers, they build things. It's what they do. So when you go to work tomorrow, Greg, you're at it again too. Cliff - Really? You moved to Indiana for its progressive architecture? That's like moving to England for the cuisine. Zionsvillain - The house you moved to was once a field or woods. I'm willing to bet folks were upset when that ground was plowed under and a house was built. But I guess now that you are in, everything should stop? "My house was OK, but the next one is sprawl." SE Guy - Please don't paint us with such a wide brush. Most reasonable Zionsville residents welcome planned, measured development.
