Bao Dumplings and Bao Tea is adding a fourth New Jersey location with a new 1,450-square-foot lease in Elmwood Park, brokers with RIPCO Real Estate announced Thursday.
According to the leasing team, the family-owned chain will open this spring at Maple Avenue Plaza at 21-06 Maple Ave. The restaurant will follow existing New Jersey locations in Hazlet, Kenilworth and Freehold, offering an Asian fusion dining experience with dumplings, buns and wontons made fresh on site and tea that is imported directly from Taiwan.
Its cotenants at Maple Avenue Plaza, now 96 percent leased, will include AT&T, KidsUnited Indoor Soccer, Eden Nails and Fair Lawn Wine & Spirits.
“We believe their presence will enhance our tenant mix and complement the existing restaurants, including Buffalo Wild Wings Go and Bubbakoo’s Burritos,” said RIPCO Real Estate Executive Vice President of Curtis Nassau, who represented the landlord. “Bao Dumplings and Bao Tea’s reputation for fresh, high-quality food and their focus on community engagement make them an excellent fit for this location. We’re confident that their arrival will not only attract more visitors but also contribute to the vibrancy and success of the entire shopping center.”
Dongri Cui of Bao Dumplings and Bao Tea added: “Fair Lawn is a great town, and we can’t wait to share our food with the community. Being right off the busy Route 208, which connects to Route 4, and with ShopRite as the anchor tenant, everyone will know where we are, and it will be easy for them to get to us.”
