One of the storefronts would fit a good size restaurant and a liquor license is available. Would a chain restaurant work here? What kind of restaurant would you like to see here?

There are too many chain restaurants already in Bensalem. I'd like to see a nice independently owned restaurant move in. But if a chain restaurant is a must, then I vote for Mad Mex!! I think it would also be nice if maybe a FroYo store moved in, like Twisted Yogurt in Horsham. These types of stores are becoming more and more popular, and it's time Bensalem got in on the trend.

@Eileen I concur! Bensalem needs a Whole Foods or a Trader Joe's, only I think the Salem Center is the wrong location for either!

In the big space, I'd like to see a German restaurant. I'd like to be able to have it without going to Rockledge. In one of the smaller spaces, I'd love to see an independent coffee shop, no Starbucks.

There are probably not enough college graduates in the immediate area for them to open a Whole Foods. A large percentage of the population must be college grads for Whole Foods to even begin contemplating opening one.
