What Should Go Here? Former Wolf Camera

Wolf Camera in Mountain View closed in June of last year and the building has sat vacant since.  What would you like to see here?

This building is at 1898 W. El Camino Real right across the street from Cost Plus World Market.

Ritz Camera, the parent company of Wolf Camera, went in and out of bankruptcy in 2009 and again in 2012 when it decided to close all its stores and liquidate all its assets.  The company cited the recession as well as high gas prices that hurt one of its other chains, Boater’s World.  Although it wasn’t provided as an official reason, its hard not to think competition from the Web has something to do with it.

According to the broker a bank was very interested in leasing the space and was in advanced negotiations, but something fell through and they backed out. Currently, there are no parties that are in serious talks about leasing this space.

This spot has 3300 square feet and 17 parking spaces.  The tenant before Wolf Camera was a restaurant so it is zoned for food use as well as retail.
