LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA —One of the new businesses joining the second Wegmans grocery store in Bucks County at Prickett Preserve will be a new steak and seafood restaurant.

Township Manager David Kratzer said that Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is going to be a tenant in Prickett Preserve.

The restaurant establishment also posted on its website that this will be its first location in Bucks County.

The eatery, which offers a menu featuring steak and seafood, has six other locations in Pennsylvania with the closest being in North Wales and Collegeville. It also has restaurants in 21 states. Click here to find out more about Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.

Kratzer said, though, that the township has not yet received a building permit for the tenant.

Eleni Kouvatsos, senior director of communications for Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, said the restaurant is expected to hire about 100 employees.

Second Bucks County Wegmans

The second Wegmans grocery store in Bucks County is expected to open sometime early next year as part of the Prickett Preserve at Edgewood project on Stony Hill Road, township officials said.

The Wegmans grocery store will be located across the street from Shady Brook Farm and will be 94,024 square feet. Wegmans operates its only store in Bucks County in Warrington off Route 611.

The development also includes nine multi-family buildings containing 200 apartment units plus a clubhouse with a pool, and seven commercial buildings totaling 52,000 square feet.

Prickett Preserve will also include a bank, pharmacy, and retail/restaurant space in four other commercial buildings. The stores are a CVS, Firebirds Wood Fire Grill, Tropical Smoothie, First Watch, and Spenga: Spin + Strength + Yoga.

The Chase Bank should be ready to open in the next few months and that the apartments should be ready in September.

Meanwhile, an existing historic farmhouse and barn on the property will be preserved and repurposed.

Plans were approved for the project by DeLuca Homes in April 2021.
