I would love to see a Barnes & Noble, Half Price Books, or some other type of major bookstore; I would also like to see a Marshalls, Trader Joe's & Cheesecake Factory.

I think a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods would be great.

Thanks for your ideas, Cheryl and Kathy! (Although if there was a large bookstore in town, I'd fear for my wallet.) What else would people like to see in Brecksville?

I would love to see Trader Joes replace Giant Eagle. We could also use a hardware store in town. And Mr Hero would be nice too.

For Giant Eagle Replacement I would love to see Whole Foods and for the VA complex I would Home Depot, Target and Kohls

Keep those ideas coming, everyone! One theme I'm seeing here, on Facebook and on Twitter is that people want another grocery store.

I would like to see a family entertainment venue in the Giant Eagle location.

I would like to see a Hardware Store return to Brecksville. Or better yet, a Lowes or Home Depot closer to town center.

I understand that the Shell Gas station is going to be remodeled. I would like to see a new car wash at that location.

We would love a better variety of restaurants, both eat in and take out. Also TJ Maxx, Famous Footwear, Game Stop and a doughnut shop that is open all day. A skateboard park would be great for kids and an ice skate park in the winter, perhaps at Blossom.

Art. Why do we have to go into desolate areas to find art stores? A place like the Purple Door that was in North Royalton. Create an art community in a nice community-Brecksville.

I would like to see a Mustard Seed, Trader Joe's or Whole Foods in place of the old Giant Eagle. A total re-developement of the VA hospital area into a green space, campus-type office complex to include retail, restaurants and office space. Something like First and Main in Hudson except with more attention to layout and landscaping

Nordstrom Rack! A mini-Legacy/Crocker would be awesome in our prime, central location.
