CHILI'S UNDERWAY AT REGENCY LAKES

(Wichita, KS) - Regency Lakes Shopping Center at 21st & Greenwich, a project of Laham Development, will be the site of the city's newest Chili's Bar & Grill.

According to Erickson, ground was broken in late September with an opening planned for spring 2006.

The center's phase one included the opening of Super Target in October 2004, and phase two the October 2005 opening of World Market. In July, plans were announced for a new Emprise Bank to be located in front of Super Target, just south of Chili's. When complete, Regency Lakes will include a total of 12-16 restaurants and stores, eight to ten of which will be located on outparcels throughout the center.
