This 2,400 square foot retail space is available for lease in the Creekside Marketplace shopping center in Lower Saucon Township. It was last occupied by a beer distributor.

Sandwiched between a Lower Saucon Township Chinese restaurant and a dollar store is an opportunity for an aspiring local businessperson.

A movie rental business was once an occupant, and a beer distributor was the last tenant to occupy the 2,400 square foot retail space in the Creekside Marketplace shopping center on Rt. 412 (Leithsville Road), just south of Hellertown.

It is currently being marketed by Rock Commercial Real Estate, which describes “Space 13” as an “inline space available for lease at (a) neighborhood shopping center anchored by a 52,524 square foot well-established and successful Giant supermarket.”

The monthly rent isn’t disclosed in the online listing, but is described as “negotiable.”

Rock also has several other listings for storefront leases in the shopping center, including two “endcap” spaces (one that is 2,400 square feet and one that is 3,162 square feet) and one “pad site.”

When asked what type of business they would like to see open in the busy shopping center, Facebook friends of Saucon Source publisher Josh Popichak enthusiastically shared a wide variety of answers.

Krystl Slifer suggested that the adjacent Chinese restaurant–China Moon–could expand its culinary footprint by opening a sushi bar next door.

Several people voted for a Payless Shoe Source to open there, and a consignment shop “or something like (Allentown’s) Plato’s Closet, where you can take your old stuff and they give you cash on the spot,” was suggested by Erica Pursell.

Some of the other business suggestions were: a craft store, an independent bookstore and gift shop, a Firehouse subs franchise, a Hallmark store, a gun shop, Panera bread, a Saladworks, a GameStop, a Thai restaurant, a Japanese hibachi grill and a bakery.
