Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - What's in Store around central New York? You've been calling us and sending lots of e-mails about new places popping up and old ones coming down -- and we're doing our best to keep up with you.
In East Syracuse, within a few weeks, the area's newest fitness center will open. You've seen the work going on inside and outside this building, and been wondering what's going in here along West Manlius Street in the village, and we can tell you it will be Kathy's Fit Stop.
Kathy Caiello tells us her new location will offer 24-hour access, personal trainers, nutrition classes, and hot stone treatments. She's hoping to open early in November.
Also in the eastern suburbs, on the southwest corner of Route 5 and Burdick Street in Fayetteville, Empower Federal Credit Union is under construction. It'll be Empower's first branch on the east side of town. The credit union's top spokesperson tells us there had been a tremendous demand for a location in the Fayetteville-Manlius area, and this is where it will be.
When will it open? We’re told it'll be the end of January or early February, sooner if possible.
And Lori called us from Ithaca, wondering What's in Store along Route 13, where they've been tearing down the former Bruce's Car Wash. A new Panera bakery and cafe will go up in front of the K-Mart there on the Meadow Street part of Route 13.
Ithaca city planners say the new eatery will be opening by early to mid-2010. Two other tenants will reportedly be joining Panera on the site, but we don't know yet who those will be.
