The new development will soon house two new restaurants. The restaurants will include Panera Bread, which currently operates two locations in Columbus and First Watch, which operates a single location in Columbus. The new joined structure will be located at 6875 Ray Wright Way Columbus.
Panera Bread, which currently has locations at 6301 Whitesville Road and Columbus and 3228 Macon Road in Columbus will soon have their third location in the Midland Commons development. The company has more than 2,000 locations nationally and is a casual style bakery and cafe.
First Watch has a single location currently operating at 2528 Weems Road in Columbus. The store opened their doors in August of 2016 and has remained in operation since. The new location in Midland Commons will be the second location in the Chattahoochee Valley for the company.
In addition Peachtree Immediate Care will soon open a new location at a recently constructed outparcel space on the property. The company currently operates three locations in Columbus and recently opened a new location in Phenix City.

The Midland Commons development has transitioned a former textile mill into a massive mixed used development in its first phase. The development has allowed for the expansion of some existing national and local retails in the Columbus market and the introduction of a few new comers to the Fountain City.
Midland Commons has announced several other retailers that will locate to the 88-acre development in the near future. Those are just part of the first phase of the project. Phase two of the development includes more than 20 acres that have not been developed as of yet and no retailers have been confirmed for that phase of the development as of yet. Dirt continues to move as growth continues.
