What Berlin Businesses Do You Miss?

Berlin, CT - Businesses open and close, but the impression they leave on a community can last long after they board up their doors.

Has your favorite venue vanished from Berlin? If you’re missing an old hardware store, bakery or mom-and-pop shop, you’re in good company.

We asked Patch Readers in Berlin, what extinct local business they’d bring back from the dead. Here’s a list of one-time favorites:

• “Video Galaxy, A&P Foodmart”

• “Was it called Kensington Provision on Farmington Avenue? We called it “The Italian Store. Mmmm”

• “Town Food Center and Harry working there”

• “Rogers market! Miss having another option besides Stop and Shop!! Was a perfect place for quick necessities!!”

• “Food Mart (miss the store terribly and wish another grocery store would open in the plaza).”
