The 10 Closed Restaurants and Shops Rochester Misses Most

If you’ve lived in the Rochester area for a while, you’ve probably got at least one business you’d bring back in a heartbeat.

I was born and raised just outside of Rochester, and over the years, I’ve watched plenty of businesses come and go. Some were around for decades and became part of the fabric of the community. Others disappeared so quickly, you barely had time to get attached.

Then, you have those places that closed years ago, some decades ago… and somehow, we STILL miss them.

We spend a lot of time talking about what Rochester needs next. What new restaurant is coming? What store would be great here? Businesses we wish would open. But, every once in a while, it’s fun to go the other direction and remember the places Rochester has already had.

And there are some GOOD ones.

We asked our listeners which Rochester businesses and restaurants they miss the most, and the responses came pouring in. Some brought back instant memories. Others had me wishing I could go back in time and experience them myself, because a few of these places were gone before I ever had the chance.

So, we went through all those suggestions and pulled together 10 of the businesses and restaurants locals seem to miss the most.
