However, with 711 (and at one time WaWa) Read more about 28 Units Planned on Site of Queen Village Strip Mall[…]

It looks like the old Woods Brothers site just south of Lehigh Ave. on Frankford Ave. may finally be developed. Back in 2016, a 178-unit project with commercial space and 80 parking spots was proposed on the property. Since then, crickets.
