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 sc******@ro************.net or call 717-854-5357.

In reference to the empty space next to Giant, I believe the community would support educational space if it had the right balance of topics and some effective marketing. Let me explain: Rotating workshop leaders would offer demonstrations and hands-on learning for assorted skills, such as cooking and canning (Giant as a food partner?), organic gardening, landscape design, bee-keeing, carpentry, parenting skills, social media management, sewing, home brewing, on and on. Fees for workshop leaders would support the space rental, but the increased foot traffic would add to the success of neighboring stores. Don’t underestimate the interest of our community in ongoing education if you find something for everyone!
