Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - In this What’s In Store, there’s word of a new pharmacy just opening up – and word of two car dealerships that have shut down.
The newest drug store in town is inside the Nojaim Brothers supermarket at the corner of Gifford and West streets in Syracuse. It's a Kinney Drugs pharmacy, open for business seven days a week, with free prescription delivery offered Monday through Friday.
Kinney says it hopes to improve access to prescription drugs and preventive health care on the near west side.
A bit further west, along auto row, we've been asked about the old Sam Dell dealership at the corner of West Genesee and Geddes streets.
Pyramid brokerage is handling the sale of the property there. Broker Tom Lischak tells us the asking price right now is $2.5 million, and he says developers from across the country are taking a hard look because of its prime location.
Lischak says the most interest is coming from developers who are thinking of putting new retail there, with clothing stores and fast food restaurants all likely in the mix, he says.
The old Dell building would come down, he says, to make way for all that. There are no deals yet, but we'll keep you posted.
Along Hiawatha Boulevard, the Joe Romano Chevy dealership is dark, empty and closed. A recorded phone message confirms the closing and urges customers to call other Chevy dealers for sales, service and parts.
We tried to learn more Friday from Romano CFO Tom Kennedy, but were told that he would have no comment on the closure of the Chevy dealership.
