CDL Printing closed down in Tops Plaza in the spring of 2023. It’s almost a year later and the space is now occupied by Unified Martial Arts. The last space in Tops Plaza that still needs to be occupied is where Rite Aid used to be. This property has been vacant for many years and has been hard to fill because of the sheer size of it which is very big. A liquor store wants to do business there but Fowler’s Canaltown Wine and Spirits in Spencerport is fighting this. They think that the village doesn’t need two liquor stores so close to each other so they started a petition against the new liquor store. There is also West Ridge Wine and Spirits in Spencerport that started in February of 2022, so really there would be three liquor stores in town if the space next to Tops was filled.
Five more businesses have opened up in Spencerport in 2024: The Pirate Toy Fund, Flower City Wraps, Vendi Excavating, Art Décor, and Lift Bridge Financial. Four stores have closed down this year too: Sullivans, Fetch, Brewskis, and Ogden Dental Group. Spencerport is resilient though and a lot of times when a business closes and a space becomes available, it gets filled within six months to a year.
