    what would shop rite do with it, extra storage or maybe more parking? Either way I am not suprised. I go to PetSmart for all my dog needs. WW Aquarium has a horrible smell too when you walk in.

    That place is filthy. The puppy mill dogs they have are infested with fleas, and you can see roaches all over the floor at any given time. I've reported this place a least a dozen times as have a lot of my friends. Glad to see it go.

    Agreed! Can't imagine what ShopRite would do with the property. It really is quite "fragrant" in there...

    I understand Shop Rite bought it. Should be very interesting. If done right, this could be a great.

    More parking I understand but I haven't seen anything official. If they link it to the other side of the street, it could be interesting if it becomes something more than just a superblock.

    Cool

    My guess is they move there storage space there and make the store a little bigger by using the storage space as retail space, making more room for parking where those 4 trailers are, and on the knorr side of the store too, less truck congestion also That's my unprofessional guess.

    Does anyone know what is being built at the Mayfair shopping center? Between the Aaron's and the laundromat, they have taken down the wall and are installing windows.

    Trust me when I say this shoprite didn't buy that place. The owner want to years ago and make the store go a cross but the city said no way because of the school down the street there. No the shoprite did not buy that place save alot going there.

    With this closing, all thats left is blockbuster and the works hoagie place.
    And blockbusters future is obviously always in doubt, hell I wonder how its still open myself, so if that disappears it will be one lonely hoagie place in that shopping center.

    I called the World Wide number and the call was answered by Petsmart or Petco or one of those.
