Closing Store Option

A Pathmark Supermarket is closing soon in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY. Local government representatives are attempting to attract a new supermarket to the soon to be vacant location.  This got me thinking, what would be other options for the neighborhood if a supermarket did not step up to take over the building?
  • An online grocery home delivery company could service the area (a free call-in option could be included for elderly members).
  • The building could be turned into a grocery pick-up location shared by not so nearby supermarkets. Customers could call in orders to the various markets and pick-up the groceries at the nearby building.  (this one may not be very cost effective with today’s rents )
I'm wondering if anyone else might have any other ideas. In the end, more than one option should be put on the table. Shoppers shouldn't have to put all their eggs in one basket.
