All retail space at the 60-acre mixed-use Meridian Cool Springs development has now officially been leased as three new tenants join the space.

“We wanted to not only serve the community, but also build a community,” said Sean Ballance, who is bringing a Clean Juice franchise to the development. “Our decision to open at Meridian was easy – it really picked us long before we picked it. In earlier parts of my career, I’d go on business trips where we’d stay at Meridian, and I’ve always been impressed with the development. It was a no-brainer to put down our roots here.”
