A new Starbucks and shopping plaza will soon open in East Ridge inside Jordan Crossing.

John Healy of Wolftever Development told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that the Starbucks will be a 2,000 square-foot store, sitting adjacent to the Chick-Fil-A. Construction on the building will begin soon.

MPL Construction will build the Starbucks, as well as the The Plaza Shops, which include two buildings totaling 18,000 square feet.

The first building will be home to a Buddy’s Bar-B-Q and Noire, The Nail Bar.

Developers say space in the plaza’s second building is still available, and would be a good fit for a fast-casual restaurant. Construction on the building will begin soon.
