THE BUZZ: Morris to get a Starbucks, Panda Express

An open section of land outside the Stock & Field (formerly Big R) store in Morris will soon house three new businesses.

The first will house a stand-alone Panda Express restaurant. The second building will hold a Starbucks and an Aspen Dental franchise.

Both the Panda Express and the Starbucks are slated to have both dine in areas as well as drive thru lanes.

The property is currently being used as overflow storage for the Stock & Field store.

A date for groundbreaking at the site has not yet been determined.
