Located at 11146 Spring Hill Drive in Hernando County, Seven Hills Plaza is only 2.4 miles south of downtown Spring Hill and roughly 40 miles north of Tampa via Interstate 275. The 1989-built shopping center has six separate points of entry that grant daily access to more than 48,000 vehicles. Aside from Planet Fitness and Walgreens, Seven Hills Plaza also features national tenants such as GNC, T-Mobile, Subway and BB&T Bank.

Recently, another retail property located 31 miles south of Seven Hills Plaza, changed hands. The LA Fitness-anchored shopping center traded for nearly $8 million
