MY SALON Suite Howell at Aldrich Plaza is the second area suite for the same business owner who also operates one in Old Bridge. The name of the owner was not provided.

And the shopping center said the franchise concept is a successful one:

“Personal care and services concepts have been a bright spot in the leasing landscape. . . . The salon suites franchise market is growing, which speaks to the success of MY SALON Suite’s forward-thinking concept,” said Kendal Hand-Freda, the leasing representative for Levin Management Corporation, the exclusive leasing and management agent of Aldrich Plaza.

“Aldrich Plaza’s strong tenant mix – particularly the presence of professional beauty supply store SalonCentric – was a key factor in attracting this business operator,” Hand-Freda said.

Anchored by Walgreens, Aldrich Plaza draws almost 1 million visits per year, according to real time traffic data from Placer.ai.

The center’s national and regional tenants include Retro Fitness, GNC, AT&T, Bubbakoo’s Burritos, Norman’s Hallmark, RE/MAX real estate, Big City Bagels & Salads and Boston Market.

Neighborhood conveniences such as a dentist, pizzeria, Chinese restaurant, optician, liquor store, karate studio, coffee and ice cream shops and a dry cleaner, among others, are included in the tenant mix.

If you live in Howell, here’s an interesting statistic about Aldrich Plaza: Nearly 161,000 people reside within five miles of the shopping center, and the daily traffic count passing the property exceeds 47,000 vehicles.
