gpoll14d534cdf8Not hardships, but really miss meeting friends for coffee there, taking grandkids for treat, taking out of town guests, grabbing a sandwich.Mostly like the coffee, baked goods, salads and sandwiches. It was often a place to meet a friend.

gpoll14fc853a30If the law allows a non-food products, maybe a small household goods section e.g. batteries, dish/clothes washer soap, discreetly out of the way, could boost traffic and revenue. But maybe not enough space.

gpoll14d534cdf8lack of local food market tho very $$$$. lack of nearby coffee shop.sorry, this is perhaps a badly worded section of the survey - unclear ?SWCA is a nonprofit organization not a marketing group. This survey doesn't ask age info for example which affects income levels and where one shops. It has never in my 25 years been profitable enough to attract and KEEP a family run business. The Roundabout will impact access and parking. I would support a business there.
gpoll14d534cdf8Loss of ability to pick up things like milk, or to get a good sandwich.Basic groceries, simple snacks, drinks, and meals.Running such an operation takes a lot of time and know-how. The place would have to be economically self-sufficient. SWCA can promote it, but getting involved in the running would doom our organization.
gpoll14d534cdf8Many times I have had to go to plan B when I didnt have what I need when preparing a meal. The alternative was to drive into town or NA. I often met my friends there for coffee and ......I truly miss the ambiance of the store and what it had to offer.I think a deli in that location is perfect. In addition, dairy products, bakery goods etc is suited for this store. Unique baskets, even local handmade items seem to attract customers. I am in favor of anthing as long as it opens..The store seemed to generate business. I cant understand why it closed. Is there any hope for the farm? It is so sad that the beatiful property has been laid to rest.Email hidden; Javascript is required.

gpoll14d534cdf8We appreciated being able to pick up basic groceries. We also deeply miss having a place to meet up with friends for coffee and a meal.Coffee/tea/meals
gpoll14d534cdf8We miss having a place to pick up basic groceries. We especially miss the store as a gathering place - to meet friends, share coffee/food, or just a place to get out to read the paper, do some work while having coffee, etcBasic groceries, healthy prepared food - made to order and grab and go. Coffee/tea. Breakfast foods great. Comfortable seating to meet up with friends. Community bulletin board. Easy place for contractors and service people working in area to stop and pick up affordable lunch/snacks/etc. EVERYONE WELCOME!Thanks for this effort!!
