A 50,966 square-foot hardware store is proposed on a 12.4-acre site in Honey Brook Borough, Chester County. That is about the size of a large big-box store. County records show the latest filing on May 13, 2024.
Borough council minutes from April 2024 appear to describe the same project. They say an attorney for the property owner, 450 Pequea LLC, presented plans for the Honey Brook Hardware building at 450 Pequea Avenue. The new building would be about 50,966 sq. ft. The earlier store on the site was about 60,660 sq. ft., so the plan is somewhat smaller than what was there before.
The council took a vote on whether the plan needed full land development review. The text of that minutes document could not be read directly, so the exact outcome is not confirmed here. No news coverage, opposition or named future occupant was found.
What it could mean nearby
- The new building would be about 16% smaller than the earlier store on the site, based on the borough minutes.
- Traffic, access and stormwater effects are not described in the sources found, and would normally be reviewed during land development.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is from May 2024, and borough council discussed the plan in April 2024. No later approval or decision was found online. The next steps usually include borough review of the land development plan, comments from the planning commission and county, and a council vote.
