Re: crannnberry gun stores
Cranberry is big bucks to do anything so it is very hard for any business to take off out there, most are usually broke and closed up within a few months.

Re: crannnberry gun stores
To be completely honest with you i am amazed that the old gas station across from the comtra theater still is empty. Im sure it has everything to do with digging out the old tanks, but that would be prime property to open a huge gun shop if someone had the money. But after almost 22 years of living in c-berry im moving out as soon as i can. WAAAAY to many yuppies for this good ol boy.

Re: crannnberry gun stores
This drives me nuts every time I drive past it (three times today). Looks like a crack-shelter. I'm hoping that the new Alti plaza and such makes someone buy that plot. Hell raze it and let farmers set up stands for free. That'd get mad traffic, at least in the summer.
By the way... still no gun shop in Cranberry Twp. SIGH.It has to start someplace... It has to start sometime...

Re: crannnberry gun stores
Yeah, we sure could use a nice shop. And a club that caters more to tactical training & competition, instead of the old fuddy-duddy clubs around here.

Re: crannnberry gun stores
Actually, I think the whole area from Rochester Rd. to Ogleview where that old nasty Gulf station is actually is a pretty poor area to put anything. You can only reasonably get to anything that would be located along there if you're coming south on 19. You can't even do a U-turn (legally, like in front of EnP) or "go around the block" to get to that stretch if you were coming north. The only way that's going to change is if they reroute Unionville Rd. to intersect with Rochester and provide a back way into future potential stores. But the only way that happens is if the couple that owns that farm on the corner finally sell it (which, BTW, they have fantastic corn in the summer). No one's going to go to the expense of digging up those old fuel tanks and razing that station without some larger project. If you look at Google Maps, that's actually a pretty small lot. So a big chain of events just to deal with that little lot.
I've thought about this off and on, and I think the best place to open a new store would be on the far north end of Cranberry up by Old 19 or Bear Run.The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.

Re: crannnberry gun stores
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. There is a suicide lane the whole length of this stretch between the rochester light and the rowan light, minus a couple hundred feet of turn lane cement nearest rochester. Going North you go a hundred yards and get in the turn lane and you're turning into that station.

Re: crannnberry gun stores
Accessing Route 19 anywhere except at a light is usually a pain in Cranberry. Assuming someone could afford the rent in a vacant storefront, would such a building be secure enough for a gun store?
Doing anything in Cranberry is expensive - from the cost of the property, to all the other costs associated with development - regardless of where you are in the township.
Cranberry is in the process of building a new public safety training building. I don't think they have provided for an indoor range for police training, but wouldn't it be cool if they did, and allowed public access? After all, they provide many other recreational activities for township residents...
Several years ago, an indoor range was proposed in Jackson Township, back Zehner School Road (I think one of the proposed owners may have been a Cranberry supervisor and retired PSP trooper). Due to opposition from neighbors (some McMansions in the area) it never came to pass.
I can remember a time when Zelienople had 2 or 3 gun shops / sporting goods stores...the good ol' days.
