History
[edit | edit source]The Shops at Canton Crossing was built on the site of a former ExxonMobil oil refinery and bulk storage terminal that had operated there since the 1860s.[3]
ExxonMobil oil refinery and bulk storage terminal - 1860s-2000s
[edit | edit source]In the 1860s, the building began as a refinery, processing petroleum products, which lasted until 1893. In 1983, Standard Oil of New Jersey, the predecessor to ExxonMobil, utilized the "Main Terminal" for oil refining. The refinery itself was dismantled in the 1950s.
In the 1980s, most of the refinery was gone, but the land was heavily impacted by decades of oil, groundwater contamination and significant soil, leading to ongoing environmental investigations and remediation efforts, including the installation of recovery wells which collected 100,000 gallons of oil in 1983.[4]
The site transitioned to a terminal for storage and distribution of petroleum in 1965, which lasted until 1998. In 1998, the building closed permanently.[5]
The Shops at Canton Crossing - 2013-present
[edit | edit source]In the 2000s, Canton Crossing LLC partnered with the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to clean up the site. After the site was cleaned up, Chesapeake Real Estate Group announced a $105 million plan to redevelop the site into a lifestyle shopping center called The Shops at Canton Crossing. The shopping center officially opened its doors on October 8, 2013.[6]
The shopping center is currently owned and managed by 28 Walker Development. The shopping center includes Baltimore's full-service Chick-Fil-A restaurant, which opened in April 2013.[7] However, the complex has undergone various tenant changes. In 2020, both Red Robin and On the Border closed their Canton Crossing locations, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. While their closures were said to be temporary, they became permanent and their signage was removed.[8] The former Red Robin space was taken over by UNO Pizzeria & Grill, which opened in 2021.[9]
In July 2024, Atwater's closed its Canton Crossing location because of a lease disagreement with the owners, 28 Walker Development. The restaurant wanted a three-year lease, while the owners insisted for a five-year lease.[10]The former Atwater's space was replaced by Kneads in the fall of 2024.[11]
In August 2024, UNO Pizzeria & Grill closed their doors for unspecified reasons. This was the last UNO Pizzeria & Grill location in Baltimore after the Harborplace location closed in September 2022. After the tenant closed, there were no remaining UNO's locations in Baltimore.[12] In 2025, it was announced that the former Red Robin/UNO Pizzeria & Grill space was going to be taken over by Wonder, a New York-based food hall tenant.[13]The space became the company's first location in Baltimore and had its grand opening on November 13, 2025.[14]
