What's the Rx for the Old Eckerd Space on 9th Street?
Rite Aid’s take over of Eckerd apparently made the chain’s owners decide that two RIte Aids within a block of each other were maybe a bit redundant, so the former Eckerd space at 9th Street and 5th Avenue is now up for grabs. (The Rite Aid at 10th Street and 5th Avenue is still going…
Rite Aid’s take over of Eckerd apparently made the chain’s owners decide that two RIte Aids within a block of each other were maybe a bit redundant, so the former Eckerd space at 9th Street and 5th Avenue is now up for grabs. (The Rite Aid at 10th Street and 5th Avenue is still going strong, though.) The 11,000-square-foot space (big!) will be leased for a 15-year term, according to broker Joel Karasik of NYC Realty, who says there’s been a far amount of interest from “national firms.” Karasik wouldn’t tell us anything else about what sort of user might take the space except that “it definitely won’t be a drug store.” What would you like to see here?

There’s an undercurrent brewing in the Slope my friends.
agreed, 12:27. everyone says park slope is a lily white, rich, yuppie fest. but only when it suits their arguement.
5th avenue, is…as you say gritty and i love it that way.
it’s my favorite part of park slope.
nearly everyone here is a hypocrite.
Could everyone here please move to Connecticut, pretty please? Hispanics, low rent and poor folks, OH MY!!. 5th ave will always have a slightly gritty feel, no matter what retailers are there. We do live in Brooklyn, not the Suburbs after all. With all the restaurants and boutiquey stuff on fifth, combined with the guaranteed steady flow of foot traffic, I think any retailer would do well here.
Please, no Trader Joes, go to C-Town (and if you say it’s ghetto, you haven’t been there).
I really hope this becomes a tire shop/carniceria/ flea market just to spite you all.

Have a lovely weekend at the mall jerk-offs!
um…11:56….take a look at demographics above.
$58,000 a year median income and 800K for median home prices in 11215 is not poor.
i just assumed that NYSC would take it over to make a mega NYSC, with pool, rock climbing wall, tennis court, sex parties, etc.
The real problem with the south slope is the population density is MUCH less than the north slope. Downzoning the south slope was a real mistake, as the population density will now never be able to achieve what the rest of the neighborhood has. Retail in Brooklyn is based on foot traffic and sales per square foot. Right now, the south stretch of 5th Avenue is a regional destination for many poor and minority people. Anything that caters to a wealthier demographic in that area will have to draw from the local residents exclusively.
Sex parties? How come B’stoner doesn’t have a forum with postings about this?
Bowling alley
so funny you should mention that 11:20.
there ARE a ton of sex parties.
I just heard about this huge gay one that takes place right here in the center slope!!!!
