KFC!

Panera, Chipotle, or Qdoda

not sure why this exercise goes on. retail outlets have demographics they use to place their stores. we don't cut it for many national or regional chains. we do cut it for walmart and dollar general.. take the hint.

kfc taco bell!!!

I agree and disagree Bee Free. I agree that we can wish all we want about any business moving in. However, demographics and location may not support the business. I think the old Pollo Loco is a poor location since one has to enter the Walmart parking lot and the location is somewhat hard to see in plain site.

However, Tewksbury is able to support higher value stores beyond discount chains. Although I am not a planning expert, I think the lack of a downtown area hurts local commerce. Rt 38 is all strip malls with no cohesion. People gravitate to places where you can buy many things at once vs one off purchases. Downtown Andover and the Rockingham Mall are great examples.

Have to go with KFC. When that area was being built that was supposedly one of the contenders for that place. Another chain that would do good in town is Olive Garden. This particular site is to small for the Olive Garden but we have numerous stores that are empty. Tewksbury is starting to look like a ghost town. Except for Pizza parlors, gas stations, fast food and nail solons.

I agree with KFC/Taco Bell or Fresh Garden

A regional I.C.E. office.

why did we even let them build something there? forget another fast food restuarant, tear it down,we have enough vacant buildings and store fronts. The owner should have been held accountable, the restaurant did not survive one year.

I'd love to see a seafood restaurant, retail store go in, similar to Turners in Melrose!!!

Joe Bill you are a riot sir....

Starbucks...Tewksbury and Lowell are the only towns around that do not have one.

Anything that doesn't use the drive-thru!

I vote for Panera - love that place!

How about a Red Robin. Try the one in Nashua, NH and you will find out how good their good is.

The way this building was constructed invites another chain restaurant. I'll suggest one that no one else has - Popeye's. They seem to be trying to move into the northeast part of the country. The closest one is in Everett.

Starbucks would be great

There is a Starbucks in Wilmington...i agree with the person that says tear the building down...another closed up building? ugg

I would love a Chipolte in town..but if that is not possible, I agree with all those people saying it should be torn down. We have too many vacant stores in town..it makes the town look crappy. Related to that can we get our town planners to ban all new route 38 construction until the vacant store fronts are occupied?

Another vote for Panera.. sure there's one in Wilmington, but it is not near any major highways and this is on the opposite end of Tewksbury. I'd love to see a Firehouse Subs in the area too (look them up!), but with Subway inside Walmart and plenty of good mom-and-pop places in town, that's probably not the best spot for it.

Boston Market

Definitely a KFC or maybe a FIVE GUYS

In and Out Burger..always go there when I am out West

Panera's

would love panera
