You can be sure that NIMBY will rule, the Zoning Board will screw it up, and the building will…Read More remain vacant. The King Kullen is located across the street from the new Walmart Neighborhood Market and faces stiff competition anyway, so the comment referring to KK is irrevelant in the Starbucks discussion.

What will become of the other stores in the "mall" I think there are only 2 or 3 left in…Read More the part directly connected to Pathmark

what abot the other 360 days a year that the entire industry gouges us. The stupidity and greed I…Read More witnessed at almost every station was appalling. You are making thousands of dollars an hour, it's a crisis, can you get one $7 an hour employee to direct traffic and collect money OUTSIDE instead of sitting at the register to sell cigarettes?? The lines were from complete lack of organization or intelligent thought.

Certain businesses are self explanatory in their title but a one liner on the others would be…Read More helpful in knowing what they are all about.

dear previous poster,L...I understand how you feel..but in this particular case Believe me,,this is…Read More a self help project...with a goal of upgrading our community..The developer did not do this based on arithmatic and profit...so lets support it because,,If we can help ourselves and Improve the main street of our community,,we also upgrade our home values..The fact is,, that this project is an upgrade!!Its not like other projects you have seen with hi traffic,,and users that will create negative impact...try to be open minded and analyze this-!we must do something !Its very rare that a local buisness would have the funds to renovate this type of strecth because its too big..and its 3 parcels and theyve all fallen into disrepair....The surrounding homes will be upgraded as a result of this eyesore being cleared..theres no increase of traffic as the prior occupant had massive parties and catered events in total dosregard for all codes the building dept. has created over the past decades to protect us against parking in front of our homes and overflowing into the residential streets surrounding the commercial roads..as the establishment had NO parking at all..and for us as neighbors to object to this particular end user would be ridiculous as they are a perfect fir to our neighborhood...No drive thru..No alcohol..No late nite traffic..No parties..and they allow community organizations to use a room ,free of charge as well as support community events contributing food when asked,,The Panera Bread company IS community minded and when you go there to discuss an issue if there ever will be one..you will find an on site manager ready to listen and react to your needs....So please,,lets not lump this situation into the bunch of possible dissapointments youve experienced...and its firmly believed by experts that the site we will have compared to the streetfront of vacant derelict buildings that will never be rehabilitated if not for this local developer foregoing profits to improve our town,will definetly raise property values surrounding this site.

A LESS SUPERIOR LOCATION! I am glad he admits that. which is why I will be listing my home ASAP and…Read More get out now before any more chains move in and turn residential lots into commercial. Reverse gentrification! Lower the FEW surrounding property values so you can move in even lower income families, one by one the values drop and you have a small isolated area with decreased home values and low class families. Which are the only ones willing to live on a commercial block.

I love Panera. But hate living off of merrick road! Every time I turn around there is one…Read More monstrosity being knocked down another going up! Every time I show up at the town hearing the builder tells me how great it will be for the community. The same old story. Build, Build Build. That guy was right we all paid a discount to live near a commercially zoned area. A discount is paid for a less superior location.
