Business, Local Connections Visions for Vacancies in Barnstable: Old Borders Building

What business would you like to see behind this vacant storefront?

 

There was major outcry when Borders Bookstore went out of business.

This week we’re taking a look at the old Border's on Route 132. 

What would you like to see? 

So, if you had your way—and, for the purpose of this discussion, let’s try not to focus too much on zoning restrictions—what would be your vision for this vacancy? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

I think they should tear the building down. What do you think? I'm not sure what would go in it's space, but I just don't like it...

I would like to see a Red Robin or Golden Corral come to the old Borders building. Please don't tear it down! Ardie Call

I like Ardith's suggestion. We need some newer restaurants around here. I'd take a Denny's or Arby's at this point!

I'd rather see an original restaurant instead of a chain. I think a Greek place or Mediterranean restaurant would be amazing!

I was recently in Austin, TX and they had this area within the city that was just food trailers. The food was amazing and it was just really cool. Might be better at the west end of Main St, actually. I could see Fiddlestix there as well as other creative folks! The tourist would love it and it would create jobs!
