Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Central New York welcomes a sub shop, a pharmacy, and a much-needed makeover.
We start in Bridgeport, where June Euson and others have been patiently waiting, and asking us when that new sub shop will open there.
It's a Jreck's and, yes, it's still coming. How soon? Christopher Swartz of Jreck's corporate office tells us they're hopeful for an opening by late January.
They had been hoping to be in business by year's end, but other projects delayed this one. As Swartz puts it, "you can only do so many at a time." He does say Jreck's is very excited about the Bridgeport location.
In Brewerton, they weren't getting much work done Wednesday thanks to the weather, but when we stopped by last week, one of the facades along Route 11 was getting a makeover.
The facelift for the facade is funded, in part, by a matching grant of federal money. The building owner puts in $15,000 and the feds match it with $15,000 to jump-start the newer look.
Nick Chervinsky, the owner of the building, tells us that within a month, he hopes, weather depending, everything should be finished.
If it gets too cold, too fast, though, painting may have to wait for spring. The grant program is run by the county, and a spokesman says up to $200,000 per year is available for this kind of work from Washington.
Kinney Drugs officially opened its newest central New York pharmacy Wednesday. This one is inside the Nojaim's supermarket at the corner of South West Street and Gifford Street on Syracuse's near west side.
Kinney said there was a strong demand for a new pharmacy for that part of town. It's open now for business seven days a week, with free prescription delivery offered Monday through Friday.
