Fetterman reported he’s fielded quite a few queries from intrigued functions that include an ice product store, barber shop, espresso shop and sandwich shop.
“The former jewelry store, with its protection method, is like a fortress and is move-in all set,” Fetterman stated.
Fetterman explained he won’t enable any organizations to transfer in that would not be deemed relatives-permitted.
“I experienced someone want to set a vape store in,” Fetterman mentioned. “I will not do that. It’s appropriate across from the large faculty — no way.”

“He’s a effectively-known businessman in our region,” Morabito mentioned. “This is just a further substantial action in filling these empty storefronts and bringing back the firms that Allegheny Township once experienced.”
Fetterman reported both of those buildings are in outstanding form and that he’s been sprucing up the grounds of the whole lot of almost one particular acre. The property’s parking great deal provides 17 spaces.
