There’s at least nine empty stores in Ogden, Parma and Spencerport. With well over hundred businesses in this area, nine empty stores is not all that bad. Two notable vacancies are in the Tops Plaza. Rite Aid used to be in the space next to Tops, but they moved to the top of the hill in 2018(to become Walgreens), so this space has been empty for over four years. It’s a big space, so most likely, it wouldn’t be filled with a local and independent company. There’s a better chance that a national company would end up here.
Flaum Management Company is trying to get the space occupied. They’re a property management company from Rochester who work with big companies and have properties all over New York State. The other space in Tops Plaza that has been empty for a while is also part of the Flaum Management Company. Similar to the old Rite Aid building, this space is also probably too big for a local and independent company.
The Dollar Tree that’s by these vacant storefronts has been doing a good business for years. Having another national company like this in the Tops Plaza would be nice to have.
