CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — Eighteen months after a grocery store moved out of a Cleveland Heights neighborhood, filling the vacant space with another grocer has proven a challenge. The owner of the Cedar-Fairmount property vacated by Dave’s Market in 2022 said a changing industry and rising costs have been a hurdle in finding a new tenant.
The grocery business runs in Russo’s blood. His grandfather opened a small market in the Cedar-Fairmount neighborhood in 1931. In 2000, residents in the neighborhood known for its historic homes and old-world charm pushed back against Giant Eagle’s plan to replace the 18,000 square foot store with a much larger “big-box” style location.
Since then, neighbors told News 5 they miss the convenience of a grocery store within walking distance. When California-based chain Grocery Outlet showed promising interest, Russo agreed to charge the company half the rent that Dave’s paid in 2013.
