What Business should Open Here?

The vacant former DeFusco's Bakery is waiting to be snatched up and turned into a new business. What would you like to see there?

Cranston's business climate is improving, but there are still many vacant businesses and empty storefronts throughout the city.

This one in particular is an especially prominent eyesore, occupying prime real estate at the intersections of Budlong Road, Park Avenue and Dyer Avenue.

The former bakery closed after the zeppole incident in 2011 that sickened hundreds and caused a few others to die after cream contaminated with salmonella produced here was distributed across the state and beyond.
