Description
Doyle's is closing at end of April. It would be excellent to have a deli and grocer open at this location similar to Nica's or Romeo in East Rock.
Does anybody know someone interested in the opportunity? Please spread the word.

This would be great! Has the building been put on the market?
(Dry cleaners can sometimes require environmental remediation if they clean clothes on-site, which I don't think this one does).

The building appears to be owned by the cleaner.

While Nica's may have some the ire of some folks. Most traffic at all the orange street markets is indeed walk in or street parking to grab a quick bite. P&M, for example, who also has a location in Branford has a ton of firemen, cops and contractors who stop by all day. The neighborhood would really benefit from that place you can either run to get that onion while you're mid-cooking emergency, or want to walk to get a breakfast sandwich with and run into neighbors. This space seems perfect for that patio sidewalk eating space.
I know that some have talked to Orange st. proprietors before and their belief was that there aren't enough grad students to may the day traffic busy, but I think there are plenty of work from home, retirees, etc. that would make a good place profitable. Also, if the kids is supposed to be down for a nap you might be able to run down the street with them in a stroller, but not get in your car! wink. Harborview Market in Black Rock, Bridgeport is really good example. It's become an institution for retired and semi-retired types during the day. (not to mention the cookies are amazing).
Manjares helped fill a void as well after coming out of Lulu's, right? I think another place with more of a small grocery slant would be great!

Check out this story about a crowdfunding platform for communities interested in bringing culinary concepts to their neighborhoods. (There are other online platforms for this, but this one is working with JLL, which i think is the second largest real estate firm in the world.) Using this approach would elevate any pitch Westville might make to bring a new marketplace/wine store/grocer to the Doyle's space.

Hi folks,
As some of you might know the Westville Quality Market has started to match its inventory to the requests of neighbors. For the past two months they have started to sell local beer and on Monday they will start to sell Organic local Milk, Eggs and Ice Cream from Farmer's Cow. Please stop in and support them on Monday.
Additionally, the Quality Market is for sale if someone is interested in opening a market.
