Northbrook Visions For Vacancy: Wilsher Plaza Storefronts

At the corner of Willow Rd. and Shermer Rd., on the north side of the Union Pacific derailment site that blocked off Shermer Rd. over the summer, sits a small, struggling shopping center that's trying to survive a sudden drop in traffic and customers. 

The shopping center on the 2600 block of Shermer Rd. is probably too small for a Walmart, but could be the perfect size for a visionary entrepreneur or a business newcomer dreaming of opening their first store.    

Could a couple new stores that serve a niche community or offer a must-have for the general public be the surprise solution to the shopping center's struggles?

What kind of business would you like to see fill the void at Shermer Rd. and Willow Rd.? Maybe it's a new haberdasher or an exquisite cheese store? Share your visions in the comments!
