Saraga International Grocery will occupy roughly 68,000 square feet at the west end of East Washington Plaza’s anchor building at 7803 E. Washington St., marking its fourth Indianapolis location. The chain plans to pair grocery aisles with a Tous Les Jours bakery cafe and is targeting an opening between July and September 2027.

Property owner Singleton Companies is investing between $20 million and $30 million into redeveloping the 170,000‑square‑foot center, with planned work including new roofs, updated facades, refreshed parking‑lot lighting and infrastructure upgrades. Municipal filings and prior actions cited in the article — including a 2021 plat division and a November 2024 Economic Development Area resolution — are part of the site’s redevelopment history; construction progress and city approvals are listed as the milestones to watch before the store opens.

BusinessIndy examines this development and its implications for Indiana businesses and communities using the linked sources.
