Beachwood Ride-Aid Closed, What Do You Want There

It's a bit strange driving along Rt. 9 in Beachwood and noticing the signs are all off the building on Rite-Aid.

Now what, thanks to Facebook, there are so many opinions that should fill this empty corner store.

What should take the place of the Rite-Aid on Rt. 9 in Beachwood?

There are several responses for a Dollar store. Maybe a Dollar General or Dollar Tree. There are several in Bayville, but maybe it would be nice in Beachwood?

Lots of responses on Facebook were wanting a Trader Joe's or Wegmans, the area there is to small, I believe. I think the houses behind the store are pretty close to the building.

There are so many wishes for something fun like a bowling alley, a skate park, or a skating rink. Once again, I believe the area at that corner is to small. Possibly a skate park, but it is very close to Rt. 9. Unless it was an indoor skate park.

A dog park was brought up and yes I agree, Beachwood needs a dog park, but not in that location. It's way to close to Rt. 9 and there is a lot of traffic in this area.

Beachwood residents, do you remember what was there before Rite-Aid moved in? A deli, and from what I've been hearing and seeing on Facebook, it was delicious. Bring back another deli was on the list. That could be a great idea.

A coffee house, ice cream, and probably the most popular response to what do you want in the empty Beachwood Rite-Aid store: a bakery. Yes, yes, and yes. This would be the perfect spot for a bakery in this area. I vote for a bakery. We need a good one in the Beachwood area.
