🚨 SEVEN FIELDS / MARS… WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE GO HERE?!We’ve all driven past it. The former Rite Aid location at 100 Seven Fields Boulevard, right along Route 228, has been sitting there with a lot of potential.So naturally, it got me thinking…What’s next for this property? Has someone purchased it? Is it being leased? Or is it still waiting for the right business to come along?I did some digging, and the property has been publicly marketed as a commercial leasing opportunity, with approximately 13,800 square feet of space.But here’s where I want YOUR input!If you could choose what business moves into this location, what would it be?🍔 A really good locally owned restaurant?☕ A coffee shop or bakery?🥩 A specialty grocery store or butcher shop?🛒 An Aldi or another grocery option?🏋️ A fitness center?🍕 A family-friendly restaurant?🛍️ Something completely different?Personally, I love seeing locally owned businesses get opportunities in growing communities like this. But I’d also love to hear what residents actually want and need.SEVEN FIELDS, MARS, CRANBERRY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES… LET’S HEAR IT!What business would make you excited to see this location come back to life?And if anyone has firsthand information about a buyer, lease or plans for this property, we’d love to hear that, too!👇 DROP YOUR IDEAS IN THE COMMENTS.
