Visions for Vacancy: 10500 Perry Highway in Wexford

Ever since the old DiPietro Restaurant was torn down, the lot at 10500 Perry Highway, near the intersection of Perry Highway and Reichold Road, has remained empty.

Rite Aid, which owns the lot, which also houses the adjacent Wendy's Restaurant, bought the land in 2007 for $1,230,000, according to the Allegheny County real estate web site. 

Bruce Betty, the McCandless Zoning Officer, said a plan was approved for the construction of a new Rite Aid drug store, but one has never been built.

Rite Aid does have a store just a few blocks north of the location, next to the Whole Foods Grocery store.

A Rite Aid spokesman said there are no plans to build on the location at this time.
