I’ve been getting a steady number of emails with the following type of query:
“Dear PoP,
Have you heard anything about what will be going into the now-vacant Townhouse/Secret Safeway?”
Unfortunately I haven’t heard any details on who/what may be moving in. I don’t even have any reliable, or for that matter unreliable, scuttlebutt on the space. Have you guys heard anything?
If not let’s dream a little. What/who do you think would be the perfect tenant for this location. A brewpub? Would a restaurant be a natural fit here? Given the large space and location what do you think will work best here?
Also, for the folks that live nearby, will you miss the grocery store?
