Empty in Farmingdale: Former Main Street Bakery

Walk down Main Street or drive down Route 110 and Hempstead Turnpike and you will notice many boarded up storefronts adorned with "For Rent" signs, an indication of the hard times the area -- and country -- are facing.

The Village of Farmingdale mayor and board of trustees they hope will and fill the empty sites with businesses and housing.

Over the next few months, Farmingdale Patch will spotlight these vacant properties to foster discussion in the community on what can, should and could be done to rehab these abandoned places.

Today, we start with the former Rocky & Sons bakery on Main Street.

Since the bakery left early this year, the store has been renovated. For a $4,200 per month price tag, renters get 3,000 square feet, a basement and three car parking at 253 Main Street.

Tip Top Realty Corporation, a Queens-based agency listing the site, says the space is ideal for a bar, bakery, restaurant or thrift shop.
