East Beach Square Gets a Major Upgrade | Virginia Beach News

East Beach Square in Norfolk is transforming into a foodie and fitness hub with Chelsea Bakehouse’s highly anticipated New York-style pizza spot set to open in September. Part of a $1.3M renovation, the center is bringing together local gems like Lolly’s Creamery and Frank & Patty’s — with the latter aiming for late 2026 — alongside national brands, a golf simulator, and Fit Body Boot Camp. Despite minor delays with permits and playground plans, momentum is strong, and while Trader Joe’s remains the dream tenant for the last vacant space, owners are ready to split it up if needed. This isn’t just about new shops — it’s about creating a vibrant ecosystem where great food, fitness, and fun all feed off each other.
