Update on Spencerport happenings this Fall

October 7, 2024

This is an update on what’s been going in the Spencerport business community this Fall. The grand opening of Bloom and Blend smoothie shop was on September 14th and the ribbon cutting was on October 2nd. Bloom and Blend is located in Tops Plaza where Hollywood Decorative Creations was previously. For more information about this new store, there will be a story about them in the November issue of the Canal Side Paper. Also in Tops Plaza, Eric’s Retro Arcade is scheduled to open in December by Slayton Place. Opening in 2025, Books and Crannies will be a new bookstore located on Union Street near the Ogden Farmers Library. This will primarily be a community space and an employment opportunity for neurodiverse young adults. There was also a grand opening of the Merz Park Parking Lot near the canal bridge on September 30th. This lot is great for additional parking to the downtown business area. Also by the canal bridge at 84 South Union Street, signs were put in the windows saying that the commercial space is available. They have been working on this property all year. And lets congratulate the pharmacist Eric Schladebeck for ten years of running the Spencerport Family Apothecary!

There’s also the Town Trick or Treat on October 26th. This is where the parents and their children walk around the village to all the different stores and get candy.

There’s also an event outside of town on the same day as the Town Trick or Treat. Homesteads For Hope Community Farm is having their 5th Annual Trunk or Treat on October 26th. Decorated vehicles will be all throughout the farm and people will be giving out candy.

The Great Alphabet Hunt in the village

The Great Alphabet Hunt was a huge success this summer. Twenty-six businesses participated in this event where kids had to go around the village and find letters from the alphabet taped to windows of each of the twenty-six businesses. After they have found all twenty-six letters, they went to the Union Street Coffee House, handed in their sheet, and got a prize and a certificate. These are the twenty-six businesses that participated:
