SkinSpirit skincare clinic which offers "cutting-edge products and services in its clinics, including Botox, dermal fillers, facials, laser treatments, and other non-invasive aesthetic services" - it expects to open this spring. Pete's Cleaners next to the Town Square is set to become a fish market "that would also prepare and serve seafood dishes to eat there or take out."
