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?

Oh, a Trader Joe’s would be my first and favorite choice.
I do hope they take some care in getting a good tenant there. It will truly change the direction of the area, which is already heading in a more upscale way, but still decidedly dirty/cheap looking with a few decent nuggets tucked in. I live on 8th St, and 5th gets dirtier and less upscale right around 7/8th sts, with the exception of Rachel’s and a couple of other places.
not to mention, the space is too small for “a slope bashing re education center”-
I would love an Equinox….right under NYSC
9th Street and 5th Avenue is South Brooklyn. It’s not a part of Park Slope, south or otherwise.
Too bad the site is 11,000 square feet and not 110,000. A Wal*Mart would be great there.
“Re-education” Center for Brownstoner Slopebashers.
The new chain store “Crocs Carraiges and Chai” with stroller valet. “no food stamps”.”unaccompanied kids only”..
