In December 2007, University of Mary Washington's (UMW) foundation bought the 21-acre Park & Shop shopping center--now known as Eagle Village--for $18.75 million. The school demolished the Roses store in March 2009 to make room for student apartments, a parking garage and retail and office space.

The estimated price for phase one of the mixed-use development is $115 million. It's expected to open in summer 2010.

  • I worked there in mid 1980s. Sad to see it go.
  • I worked there in 1988. My first real job. Low pay but loved it.
