What Should Replace Local Sweetbay Supermarkets?
The large grocery store closed its doors this week. What would you like to see take its place?
Now that both local Sweetbay stores have closed, attention has turned to what to do with the large, empty retail spaces left behind.
On the Weschase Patch Facebook page, users seemed to favor seeing one of three retailers move in to the space.
Beth Padgett Edwards voted for a Total Wine.
