Why are all the businesses leaving the Ceredo Plaza?

[Wondering]

I've noticed that the Potpourri, I Jump Around & Sew Many Blessings are already gone. The Pumpkin Patch is going out of business & CVS is moving. Does anyone know why?

Monthly lease is way to high anymore. One of the reasons half of big bear is still empty.

[i wonder too]

I jump around went out for 1 not paying bills and 2 could not get a new lease. I hate it that we are losing all our businesses it stinks

[Wondering]

I hate it too. Hopefully other businesses will come in to take their places. It's not always convenient to run to Huntington or Ashland to shop.

Someone said foodfair is moving into the old big bear and hf was moving to the old cvs?? Any truth?

We need to get back to supporting the small business and keep everything as local as possible!!

I agree!!

We've got to get businesses back in Ceredo and KEEP them. Got to get out tax base built back so we can attract more people to live in this nice little town.

I'd love to put something in the building across from Tudors, where the giovannis just went out but have no clue what to do. NOT a pizza place that's for sure. Lol.

[Reaping What Sewn]

Folks just won't come to Ceredo and risk being HiJacked continuously by a corrupt police dept and police judge. Been warned by drivers for 2 yrs now, and it is coming true.

No shoppers when they have to run the gauntlet thru either Ceredo or Kenova, both being notorious speed traps with blue thieves ready to jack them for every $$ they have.

Harbor Freight business is off 35% year over year. No traffic, no shoppers; no shoppers, no stores.

In the mean time all the PRAISE THE POLICE posts on here telling us what good men jim, jack, jerry & john are. Then the old chief quit and this site ran him down terribly. WHAT CHA GOT TO REPLACE HIM AIN'T WORKING SO WELL. CORRUPT COURT RUN BY MAYOR AND MONKEY WITH COPS RUNNING ON A QUOTA SYSTEM in this economy and the result is a town full of empty stores.
