Visions for Vacancies: Which Franchise for Blockbuster Spot?

The Blockbuster at 9325 Gravois Road closed in June.

The Patch article about that closing currently has 14 comments. Some are about the future of that particular space. Others are about commercial development in Affton in general. Here's a sampling:

  • And now we will strive to work with property owner Ray White to attract another community friendly business to occupy that location. 
  • Here is what I think should occupy the storefront: a legal business that wants to set up shop there without public subsidy, follows the rules, and comes to a beneficial agreement with the landlord. 
  • But we can't allow an established and thriving business to move in because people in Affton are bigoted against poor people?
Now it has closed. It seems Gravois Road could use any number of franchise restaurants. It doesn't have even some of the most common.

If a the owner found a franchise for the spot, which one would you like to see there?
