(WANE) &#8211; Newschannel 15 is first to report that a handful of businesses along downtown&#8217;s Broadway are planning some big improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The Rongos family plans to expand their &#8220;George&#8217;s International Grocery&#8221; along Broadway and Taylor.  They also own and operate the adjacent International Bakery.  The center is also anchored by a Family Dollar.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Rongos family plans to renovate the exterior of their property, and create an international village of additional shops, with tenants expected to be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Right across Broadway, the owners of Mad Anthony&#8217;s and Munchies Emporium are also planning a large-scale renovation and expansion project.  The restaurants will grow to include a beer garden, as well as some additional fa\u00c3\u00a7ade and exterior renovations.<\/p>\n<p>In a Newschannel 15 exclusive, Chappell&#8217;s officials say a big change is coming to the Broadway restaurant and fish market.  The 23-year-old business is expected to merge with Hartley&#8217;s restaurant on Fairfield.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old Hartley&#8217;s is expected to close on Fairfield, and is expected to merge its menu with Chappell&#8217;s menu at the Broadway location.<\/p>\n<p>Chappell&#8217;s on Broadway is expected to close before the end of the year for the renovation, and is expected to later open with a name using a combination of Hartley&#8217;s and Chappell&#8217;s.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This story will be updated.\u00c2\u00a0 Watch Newschannel 15&#8217;s First at Five and News at Six for the very latest. \u00c2\u00a0Report by\u00c2\u00a0<strong>Matt McCutcheon<\/strong>, WANE.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/bc\/68975.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Clean up is progressing at the Broadway Auto &amp;amp; Truck Repair shop after a fire.
