THE LIGHTSTONE GROUP SIGNS 10-YEAR LEASE WITH RETRO FITNESS FOR NEARLY 12,000 SQUARE FEET IN EASTON SHOPPING CENTER
One-Stop Fitness Depot Ideal for Typical Easton Commuter
EASTON, PA (July 23, 2007) – Crunching to cut calories isn’t’ easy when you spend most of the day off your feet, whether sitting at a desk or mustering through hum drum rush-hour traffic. With 83 percent of Easton residents choosing to drive to work, The Lightstone Group today announces a much-needed pit stop for commuters.
The Lightstone Group, one of the largest private real estate owners in the country, has signed a lease agreement for 11,980 square feet with Retro Fitness in the 25th Street Shopping Center. Already bustling with retail stores and health-conscious businesses and catteries, the single-story shopping center spans 131,477 square feet.
Situated in downtown Easton off Route 22, Retro Fitness will serve as a commercial health and fitness club that offer fitness/strength training, aerobic and cardio classes, tanning, and smart-living programs, in addition to selling retail goods such as exercise apparel and equipment. Unlike its handful of competitors in the Easton market, Retro Fitness charges a modest $19.99 a month, knowing it’s your waistline-not your wallet-in need of a downsize.
“Much like the rest of our tenants, we believe Retro Fitness will become a staple in the community, and will boast a symbol of healthy living while reminding passersby that exercise should be a part of day-to-day life,” said Jeff Dash, vice president of leasing for The Lightstone Group. “The prime location of the facility is also advantageous, as Retro Fitness will be a visible player in the commercial industry near Route 22.”
Retro Fitness is joining nearby businesses including Caruno John, D.O. Occupational Therapy Group, Redi-Care Medical Center, Comfort Inn, and Mandarin Tang Cruise.
