What Would You Like to See Next to Starbucks?
The historic Moorestown Trust Company building on Main Street has been empty since last year.

One-half of the Moorestown Trust Company building has been empty since Subway closed last year, leaving without a neighbor.
Primo Hoagies had been considering the spot for a franchise location, according to Economic Development Advisory Committee chair Jacob DerHagopian, but has since moved on (though Primo is still looking to open in Moorestown, according to a "Coming Soon" list on its website).
Stephanie Herz, vice president for the , said the building was erected in 1926, but the Trust Company went under shortly thereafter (most likely due to the stock market crash). It was a hardware store for much of its existence, first housing McChesney's Hardware, then followed by Wright's Hardware. After Wright's closed, Starbucks moved into one-half of the building, with Subway taking up residence in the other half.
