West Main Strip Mall Still Sits Empty

What used to house a hardware store and a women’s clothing shop has become an eyesore for the west end of Smithtown’s Main Street.

Smithtown Hardware vacated the space back in early 2011 for bigger digs down the road in the Village Commons shopping center. Women’s clothing retailer Mandee left shortly after, when the company filed for bankruptcy. The mall has been completely empty for more than a year with the only thing filling the space being the weeds in the parking lot.

According to ISJ Management, the listing agent with the property, the space is not for rent, even though a store for rent banner is hanging on the front of the building. A spokesperson said the future of the property is unknown.

What do you think should be done with this space?
