Development of Edison Pointe moves forward. The property at 20595 N. John Wayne Parkway, south of Fry’s, will be anchored by Ross Dress for Less.

The Goodwill store is set to open first, planning a grand-opening ribbon-cutting March 16. The store sells used clothing, furniture and household goods to provide free skills training and job placement.

Planet Fitness currently plans to have its ribbon cutting March 27. The populist gym franchise will be in Suite 400 with a corner entrance and will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays before the full opening when it becomes a 24-hour facility. The Maricopa location has web and Facebook pages in the early stages.

Other opening dates will be announced later. Despite leaving Vintage Partners for Pederson Inc., developer Casey Treadwell continues to lead the Edison Pointe project.

Meanwhile, on the far north end of Fry’s Marketplace, Denny’s moved grand opening plans due to permitting and other delays. It had tentatively set a date of Feb. 19. A grand opening has been delayed to Feb. 21 at the earliest, again tentatively.

UPDATE: A ribbon-cutting for Denny’s is planned for Monday morning, Feb. 26.
