Reply to comment by [deleted] in New Market? What is this place now? by GreyAardvark

I've been wondering the same thing while watching the ground level retail move out one by one over the last decade with no replacements.

Before the Bridget Foy's fire (relevant only for dating purposes) every window had signs in it promising an "Heirloom" coming soon. I assume Giant bought out all the retail and then changed their minds.

I'm pretty sure there were "coming soon" signs for something else there too. Last I checked theyre plain signs now.

Giant was in a fight with PECO over who had to pay for certain electrical upgrades to support the store

TIL; thanks for that. I always wondered why it fell through.

I read something recently about why Giant pulled out that I can't recall, but yeah, the whole deal is off for some reason.
