Your Marc’s Questions Answered

You can add more questions in the comments.

The questions have been pouring in since last week’s announcement that Marc’s would be opening a new store in Brecksville. It’s still really early in the process, but I was able to exchange emails with Denise Blank, the property manager at The Snider Company, and talk to Mayor Jerry N. Hruby to get some questions answered. There has been no additional information available from Marc's yet. Some of the following questions were inspired by comments from readers, and some were questions on my mind. Will the new store have a pharmacy? What about a diner? No to both, Blank said. Hruby also said that the store will not have a liquor license when it opens, so it will just sell wine and beer. Where is the extra space coming from? Blank said the …

Updated, 5:30 p.m. Brecksville residents don’t have to wait much longer to get some frozen yogurt in town. Lemonberry Frozen Yogurt is planning to open its doors in Brecksville on Tuesday.

Vertical Runner Set to Open on Saturday

The grand opening of the specialty running shop will feature refreshments, giveaways and discounts.

Vertical Runner of Brecksville won’t just be a shoe store—it will be a place for runners to gather. “Our whole thing is customer service,” said co-owner Josh Stucky. The store will focus on the runner—everything from making sure the fit of the shoe is perfect to helping them improve with running clinics. Stucky said the store will host activities like group runs and group bike rides once everything gets started. The grand opening of the Brecksville location is Saturday. The business has already been getting involved in the community.

Vertical Runner Coming to Brecksville

The specialty running shop will likely open in March.

Another new business is headed to Brecksville. Residents may have noticed some construction on the corner of Mill and Brecksville roads recently. That spot will soon be the new home of Vertical Runner, a specialty running shop. Brian Stucky bought and remodeled the old Mill Breck building, and his son, Josh, will run the new shop. While Stucky is helping to preserve a Brecksville landmark, the inside of the store will look brand-new. They’ve been remodeling it for about two months, and the grand opening is set for March 31. Vertical Runner carries all the major running brands, said co-owner Vince Rucci, and the company prides itself on having a high level of customer service. Vertical Runner has been in Hudson for about eight and a half …

Seared Restaurant Open for Business

The restaurant opened at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

The “grand opening” might not be until November, but Seared opened its doors to customers as of 5 p.m. on Wednesday. “We’re really excited to be a part of the community,” said assistant general manager Robin Schulze. The restaurant, which was originally scheduled to open in September, is starting with a soft opening, and some details—like the exact date of the grand opening—are being kept quiet for now. Schulze said the steak, seafood and raw bar restaurant will be serving a variety of wines and cocktails, and all the food will be made in house.

Anyone looking to buy dinner at Brecksville’s newest restaurant has to wait one more week.  Seared, which was scheduled to open to the public on Wednesday, is delaying its opening until next week.   Chef and owner Mike Moralis said they decided to push back the opening and put some finishing touches on the restaurant.  “We just want it to look perfect, that’s all,” Moralis said.  He said they’re aiming to have the new steak and seafood restaurant open on Sept. 21.
