Vacant Card Store on Hillside Avenue [POLL]

Walk down Jericho Turnpike or Hillside Avenue these days and you will notice many desolate store fronts adorned with “For Rent” or “Available” signs, an indication of the hard times the area — and country — are facing.

Today we are featuring the former card store, located at 1642 Hillside Ave. on the strip near . The 800 sq. ft. store comes with a rental fee of $2,600 per month.

The card store has been vacant for a couple of years and while there has been interest in the storefront, no one has yet committed to a lease.

Real estate broker Howard Newman said the space is ideal for a retail establishment or dry-use such as a liquor store. 

In Monday’s Patch question, we want to hear what business you would like to see fill the vacancy? What store do you think would work in this location at 1642 Hillside Ave.

Patch will regularly spotlight vacant commercial properties in effort to initiate a discussion within the community about alternative uses for these abandoned places. If you’d like to know more about a specific property, please also comment below.
