“I love their products but REFUSE to make a special trip to Robinson or Ross Park to buy them so I don't buy much,” commented reader Deb Ramage.

Coming in second—particularly on the Cranberry Patch Facebook page—were requests for makeup Mecca Sephora, or an Ulta.

A handful of readers said they like to see another coffee shop or a bakery move into the storefront. We got at least a few votes specifically for a Beecher’s Gelato & Gourmet Coffee. Beecher’s operated a coffee and tea shop in Zelienople for several years until the building burned down in May 2008. Although it never opened another store, Beecher’s continues to sell its products wholesale and online.

“I miss a good cup of coffee while I shop there—so maybe a Starbucks or another good coffee shop,” wrote reader Mamta Bathla. “Plus we definitely need a Bath & Body Works in the area next!”

We also got some votes for a Victoria’s Secret, a Body Shop, a Pamela’s Diner and a Tim Horton’s.
