What Business Would You Like to See Open in Canton in 2013?

Tell us what business you would like to see open next year.

We asked readers what they'd like to see fill various open spaces in Canton in 2012. Now, with 2013 having arrived, we're wondering what businesses would you like to see open in town this year. From the Old KFC Building to the old Strand Jewelers space to a vacant store front on Washington Street to what restaurant you think is missing in Canton, there are plenty of opportunities for new establishments in Canton in the new year. Tell us, what businesses would you like to see open in 2013? Where should those businesses go? Let us know in the comments section below.

Canton is definitely missing a seafood restaurant (even just take-out) with a storefront to buy fresh seafood. It would be great if it was stocked with fish caught my local fisherman to help out the small business owners.   more ›

Visions for Vacancies in Canton: What Should Fill Old KFC Building in 2013?

What do you think should fill a space once used by KFC and A&W Root Beer?

As you pass by through Cobbs Corner, you may recall there used to be a Kenucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and an A&W Root Beer restaurant at 120 Sharon St., where Canton, Sharon and Stoughton intersect. But the building, which includes a drive-through, has been vacant for some time. Now, with a new year right around the corner, if you had your choice, what would you use the building for? Another restaurant? A book store? Or perhaps a new independently-owned coffee shop?  Let us know in the comments section below with your thoughts.

Visions for Vacancies in Canton: What Should go in Strand Jewelers Space?

If you had your way, what would you put in the vacant storefront?

Through Visions for Vacancies, you can have your say and sound off on what a vacant business property in Canton should become before plans are drawn. At one time this building was "Strand Jewelers" at 562 Washington St. Now, it is vacant. If you had your way, what would you want to go into the open spot?

A vacant store front on Washington Street.

A vacant store front at 554 Washington Street in Canton Centre. At one time there was a travel agency in this space. It's located directly across the street from the Bank of Canton. To the left of this store front are two women's resale clothing shops What do you think should go here? Let us know in the comments section.

It's really hard to say. There was an appliance repair shop there for many years before Quill Travel saw the "FOR RENT" sign. The unit was done over with hardwood floors, freshly painted and the bathroom was updated. Perfect 'move in' condition.   more ›

Another store location in busy Cobbs Corner!

Another store location has become available at the Village Shoppes, at #224. This is a great location for any business. Who do you think should take this space? It is next to a gift shop, a sports shop and a bakery. Let us know in our comments section.

What should go here?

The Canton Music School once occupied this building on 520 Washington St. in Canton Center. Located on the 500 block of Washington Street near Dunkin Donuts and nestled in between Fashion Nails and a dry cleaner, it is a perfect spot for a new shop or small business. Let us know what you think should go here in our comments section.

What should go here?

When the Village Shops opened so many were happy to have an anchor store like Talbots. Now Talbots is gone and the building with the bright red door remains vacant. What do you think should go there? Let us know in the comments box.

I agree with Amy. It would be nice to have a store that sold quality clothing at an affordable price.   more ›

Visions for Vacancies

What should go here?

Last year I Scream Works was a busy spot at 598 Washington St. in Canton Center. Who doesn't love ice scream on a hot summer day? Yet, now the building is empty and we need to figure out what should go here. It is being offered by WLUKA Commercial Real Estate at 781.784.5125. What do you think should go here? Let us know in the comment's section.

Got a Hot Tip?
