After 13 years, the movies are finally returning to Bedford. Encore Commercial, developers of Market and Main Bedford, signed a lease with Regal Cinemas to bring a state-of-the-art, 11-screen cinematic experience to the mixed-use, Class A development on South River Road. Market and Main Bedford already offers shopping and dining and has plans to build a hotel and luxury residences.
According to a press release, Market and Main Bedford is a "contemporary reimagining of a traditional New England town center, with a range of activities that are easily accessible and suitable for all ages. Phase I of the project, which has been completed, includes the recently opened Trader Joe’s neighborhood grocery store and Friendly Toast restaurant, with Whole Foods anchoring one end of Market Street and the existing Carrabba’s Restaurant sitting on the opposite end. Phase II, along Main Street, will be anchored by the Regal theatre, indoor and outdoor dining, retail shopping, and luxury residences in the theme of traditional town centers.
“Our agreement with Regal is an exciting addition to Market and Main Bedford,” said Nic Barber, president of Encore Commercial.
Market and Main Bedford is providing more than 1,000 construction and permanent jobs, new annual tax revenue for the town, $690,000 in one-time impact fees, and has already funded $1 million in local road improvements.
