Five New Merchants Open for Business

The Mayfield Lakeland Building, which opened November 2003, is the second "Main Street" building within Afton Village and offers a mixture of uses: Village Shops on the ground floor and residential flats and condominiums on the top two floors. Determined to keep the charm and unique character of Afton Village, great care was taken with the tenant selection of its retail floor. A good fit between the Village merchants and the Village concept will be a consistent theme throughout the completion of Afton's retail district. Main Street is not only intended to provide a convenient set of goods and services, but also establish a variety of informal meeting places for the community.

Solace Natural Body Shop & Spa - a full service day spa specializing in all natural body products and personal care services such as massage therapy, skincare treatments, nail care, hair services, and alternative therapies.

The Wine Room at Afton Village - offers a diverse menu including bruschetta, pate, salads, sandwiches, and imported cheeses as well as a wide selection of wines.

Hansel and Gretel's Bakery - offers a full-scale bakery menu to include brownies, lemon bars, cheesecakes, cannoli, tartlets, turnovers, cookies, scones, and fresh baked breads.

Elizabeth's Treasures - a gift and home décor shop that includes custom gift baskets, printed invitations, candles, jewelry, collectibles, art, accent pieces, and toys.

State Farm at Afton Village - offers a full range of insurance and financial services, including banking, for the community.

Cappuccino Unlimited - serves as the Village coffee shop and gathering place. Open since April 2003, Cappuccino Unlimited was Afton Village first Main Street Shop.

AFTON VILLAGE'S COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
"Ultimately, there must be a good fit between our Village concept and all of our future merchants. We are determined not to let the commercial area of Afton Village become just another strip center," says developer, David Mayfield. The interview process continues between selected professional and retail merchants to ensure that just the right mix is maintained for the unique character of Afton Village. There will be beautiful plazas and courtyards where restaurants and cafes can spill outdoors and families can enjoy the amenities and convenience of the Village lifestyle. Negotiations are underway with two large restaurants.

WESTSIDE BYPASS
Thanks to the long awaited Westside Bypass (formally named the George W. Liles Parkway), Afton Village will also enjoy the advantage of attracting businesses catering to outside traffic. Phase I of the bypass includes the interchange at Crisco and I-85, the parkway to the south along Crisco to Village Drive (Afton Village Main Street), and the parkway to the north along Crisco to Hwy 73. The new I-85 interchange, Exit 54, opened October 2002, increasing traffic driving past Afton Village's commercial district dramatically. Phase II, which is tentatively slated for construction within the next ten years, will extend the parkway north beyond Hwy. 73 and will go from the Afton Village entrance at Village Drive, south along Crisco Road to Hwy. 29 and eventually to Hwy. 49. Customers will be able to conveniently come to Afton Village and will find entertainment, shopping, and services all in one place.
