Visions for Vacancy: 7-Eleven in Moon

The Brodhead Road convenience store has closed its doors.

  Vacant buildings and unused storefronts are eyesores, but an empty storefront can also be an opportunity. You don't need to be a commercial developer or city planner—or have money to invest in a business project—to have the next great idea. The 7-Eleven convenience store at 998 Brodhead Road closed its doors at the end of March.  Now we want to know: What business would benefit the Moon-area community? How could this space better serve you and your neighbors? If you had your pick, what business would move into this Brodhead Road property? Share your thoughts, ideas and concerns in the comments. Tell us what your vision is for this Moon Township vacancy.

A gas station would make the most sense. If you live on the side of Moon closest to Robinson you have no where to get gas unless you go into moon or have a membership to Costco. Moon needs to do something that makes sense for once.   more ›

Visions for Vacancy: What Should Move into this Building?

What should move into this abandoned storefront on University Boulevard?
