The Hub at Lexington: Wesley Chapel's Newest Dining and Entertainment Destination Is Almost Here

Wesley Chapel residents who have been watching the construction at the corner of Wesley Chapel Boulevard and Lexington Oaks Boulevard can start getting excited — The Hub at Lexington is nearly complete, with buildings turned over to tenants and the first businesses expected to begin opening soon.

The $24 million development from Center Connect Development brings approximately 40,000 square feet of small-shop retail space to Wesley Chapel Boulevard near Interstate 75. It's the second "Hub" concept from siblings Courtney Bissett-Hayes and Paul Bissett, who previously developed The Hub at Bexley, a 44,000-square-foot retail village that opened in 2022.

The development features six major buildings and is designed to be more of a neighborhood hangout than a corporate plaza. A grand opening event is being planned, with a date to be announced.

The Full Tenant Lineup

The Hub at Lexington will feature a diverse mix of restaurants, services, and entertainment options:

Dining:

• Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken — A full-service, sit-down Korean fried chicken restaurant with table service, alcohol, and an expanded dine-in experience, located at 27093 Halter Loop.
