Really? Shouldn't we promote the good things in Valley Station and encourage a business to thrive and instead focus on negative businesses like strip clubs, liquor stores and outdated, unsafe buildings and businesses? I am all for free speech but this is just windmill fighting?
ReplyDeleteVendors Village is a much cleaner option for bargin hunters than many in the area. It also gives 200+ people a place to have an outlet for much needed extra income as well as a place for locals to shop for items they need. The only ones hurting this shopping center the management and the owners raising rent to such a ridiculous amount forcing out others out of business.
If we want change, it starts with us... Residents of Valley Station and changing the perception of ourselves to the rest of the metro and the people who represent us.
Vendors village is costing us more economically in deterring other quality businesses that could fill the dozens of empty stores in the center than what it provides the 200+ people.
ReplyDeleteMany who have had booths there have stated that they barely broke even and went out of business in one month.
This is a major anchor store in one of the newest shopping centers in our area. Put in a store like this in Dixie Manor and see how it would decline?
We can't cut our nose off in spite of our face
