Visions for Vacancy: Here’s What You’d Like to See at the Former Steamers Coffee Shop

The votes are in.

 

On Friday, we asked readers what they’d like to see move into the former Steamers Coffee & Tea Company.

Located in The Streets of Cranberry on Route 19, the storefront has been empty since Steamers shut its doors last January.

Similarly to last week—when we asked what you’d like to see move into the former Kuhn’s Market and a Trader Joe’s was the hands-down winner—a clear favorite quickly emerged.

And that was Bath & Body Works.

Readers said they’d love it if the body care and fragrance chain opened in the plaza, with most adding they hate battling traffic to get to the store’s other locations around Pittsburgh.

“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.

If you are looking for a great Coffee House in the area....try Graham Central Coffee House & Cafe! It is right at the entrance to Graham Park...a short way from the Streets of Cranberry! Check it out!

I would like to see a Half Price Books come to Cranberry. I go out of my way to go to the stores in Ross, Robinson, and Monroeville. Plus each store carries items that aren't available at the other stores. You never know what you will find.

Albert --- there is a used book shop in Cranberry. It's in the plaza where "A Kids Place" is it's called "The Book Place" and has a large "Used Books" sign over it's door. There are tons and tons of books there at great prices too!
