DOYLESTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A multi-million-dollar redevelopment project that will bring 43,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant uses to the Barn Plaza is beginning to take shape on Route 611 in Doylestown Township.
After weeks of site preparation work, the steel framework of three new buildings is rising from the site of the former Regal Cinema, which was torn down about a year ago to make way for the new retail and restaurant uses.
When completed, the shopping center extension will introduce an eclectic mix of top national retailers, restaurants and eateries to the northern end of the Barn Plaza, which is anchored by Whole Foods and Kohl's Department Store.
The Doylestown Township Board of Supervisors approved preliminary/final plans for the shopping center project in August 2025. Several months later, during the holiday shopping season and extending into early 2026, the former Regal Cinema was demolished.
When finished, the shopping center extension will be home to a mix of new retail and restaurant uses, according to Brixmor, which owns and manages the shopping center.

Here's a look at some of the new retail stores and restaurants coming to the site:
A 13,000-square-foot Pottery Barn. Based in San Francisco, Pottery Barn is an upscale home furnishing chain with stores in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia. It is a wholly-owed subsidiary of Williams Sonoma.
A 6,000-square-foot Burton's Grill & Bar. When it is built, the restaurant will feature 140 interior seats anchored by a 32-seat bar. In addition, it will boast a 1200 square foot outside patio area with an additional 75 seats. According to its website, Burtons Grill & Bar offers "boldly-crafted American fare prepared from scratch using only fresh, premium ingredients. The all-day menu offers something for everyone. Whether it's a juicy burger, bountiful salads, premium steaks, or fresh seafood, guests have a wide variety of options from which to choose." This would be Burton's second location in Pennsylvania and its first in Bucks County.

This would be the third Naya in Pennsylvania. Founder and CEO Hady Kfoury is targeting 200 locations nationwide by 2030. In 2008, Kfoury opened his first NAYA in New York City as a fine dining Lebanese restaurant, later converting it to a build-your-own fast-casual Middle Eastern model.

In addition to the three new buildings, the project will include construction of a new stormwater management system, enhanced lighting, landscaping, signage, and improved vehicular and pedestrian connectivity.
The expansion is part of a multi-million-dollar renovation project that began several years ago with the addition of Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble and a major upgrade to the shopping center's facade.
The project also included the demolition of the former Applebee's restaurant and the construction of a new standalone building housing Chipotle, Juice Pod and First Watch.
