What Should Go There? Empty Store Next to Giant

At the far end of the Giant (Creekside Marketplace) shopping center on Rt. 412 in Lower Saucon Township is an empty storefront that’s barely noticeable behind rows of parked shopping carts, a thick film covering its windows and Giant employees who often take breaks there. What would you like to see open in this empty space?

This endcap unit in the Giant shopping center on Rt. 412 in Lower Saucon Township has been empty for years.

At the far end of the Giant (Creekside Marketplace) shopping center on Rt. 412 in Lower Saucon Township is an empty storefront that’s barely noticeable behind rows of parked shopping carts, a thick film covering its windows and Giant employees who somtimes take breaks outside there.

The address for this 2,400 square-foot space is 1892 Leithsville Road, Hellertown, and it’s been vacant for years.

A sign in the window advertises it for lease by Rock Commercial Real Estate (717-854-5357).

Rock currently has three available spaces in the shopping center, as well as a pad site there near the south parking lot entrance, according to information on their website.

The endcap unit on the south side of the supermarket is one of two available (the other being a 3,162 square-foot former beer distributor near the main entrance to the shopping center).

The third available storefront is 2,400 square-feet in size and is located in between China Moon and Dollar Tree in the second, smaller (north) building at the center.

It’s not listed as available by Rock, but a business on the other side of Giant from the endcap that is vacant is also now empty, since the gym N-Tensity Fitness closed last month.

A listing page for all the available storefronts touts “strong surrounding demographics in Lower Saucon Township” and the fact that the “property is institutionally owned and well-maintained” as good reasons to lease space there.

Leasing rates aren’t disclosed on the website.

Steve Clipman of Rock Commercial Real Estate is the listing agent for the shopping center. For more information about leasing there, email sclipman@rockrealestate.net or call 717-854-5357.
