A few weeks after Burger King closed, at “Sale Pending” sign appeared. Great!! Maybe a Wendy’s is coming or, dare I even hope, a KFC. So, for months, we all waited in suspense. But, it was recently announced that a Dollar “what ever” is coming instead.
Bah!!! We already have one and maybe two dollar stores. We used to have two but I don’t know if the second one is still in business. Regardless, no KFC!!! But who knows, we may get a KFC yet.
We had a nice family restaurant in Chesapeake City but the owners recently passed away. Rumor has it a Dollar General is coming. Boo! One rumor was a WaWa. I’d rather see a WaWa than a Dollar General. They have the cheapest gas prices and the greatest coffee. They also have sandwiches and other convenience store items. That rumor didn’t pan out. The county council met the other night and voted against a zoning change that would allow the Dollar General which btw is not a dollar store but more of a convenience store of all prices. I never found anything that I liked there. The family is upset because the sale of the property cannot go through without the zoning change. I don’t think Chesapeake City wants any commericalism here. They like the quaintness of the town. We shall see.
