Where the Olympic Resort Hotel and Spa once sat, a new shopping center is underway called the Palomar Commons.

Lowes Home Improvement will anchor the 180,000-square-foot center.

Eateries including Chipotle, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Jersey Mike's Subs and Panera Bread have announced they will be at the center.

Panera is the only one of those chain restaurants that already exists in Carlsbad.

There will also be a 16-pump gas station and bank on site.

The center is slated to open in July or August of 2013.
