A shopping center planned for N Dale Mabry Highway and Van Dyke Road is emerging as a foodie's delight.

For starters, a Village Inn soon will be built next to the Walgreens there. The restaurant is tentatively scheduled to open in October, a spokeswoman for the chain said.

One of the first restaurants to join the negotiations at the shopping center was Lee Roy Selmon's, a little brother to Outback Steakhouse and Carrabba's in the Tampa restaurant chain. Selmon's isn't signed but remains in the mix, said Nathan Black, project manager for Central Development Enterprises, the Tampa developer.

A slew of smaller restaurants are negotiating for space, Black said. They include Chipotle Mexican Grill, Quiznos Sub, Papa John's pizza, an ice cream shop, a Latin cafe and a second Mexican restaurant.
