A GNC vitamin store is coming to the Park and Shop in Cleveland Park. I still miss the bagel store…

Will never understand GNC or any vitamin store. Vitamins are the easiest and most logical thing to buy online. They’re pellets, made in some factory. You don’t browse for the prettiest one.

Yet another completely boring store coming to Cleveland Park.

This is where that expensive wine shop was, right?

  No, this is next to one of the tanning salons – Case del Sol, I believe. That’s the east side tanning salon, not the west side Palm Beach Tan, just in case you plan your vitamin shopping around your tanning.

It used to be a Verizon franchise. That closed and a Sprint store is going in across the street where Cacao was.

I wrote a bunch of my college application essays in that bagel stop while on a Christmas trip up here with my family. Sad times.

Question: Did the significant change in retail/restaurant options in CP affect housing value/prices at all? For a while it was a bit of a ghost town – just curious.

  No. The fact that there were a couple of empty storefronts didn’t drive prices down. After all, proximity to bars and restaurants is only one reason to buy a home in a certain location. More important for home values are things like low crime and access to good schools. Cleveland Park has that and has always had quite a few good restaurants to boot.

waste of space. i’ve never been able to figure out who it is that actually patronizes these places.

GNC is a welcome addition. Nice to have more retail.

At least its not another restaurant! You the Cleveland Park Citizens Association is determined to keep the overlay that restricts anymore of those in the commercial area! GNC will totally add to the vibrancy of this neighborhood.
