The connector road behind it to Gettysburg was constructed in 1957. The Trotwood center was built c. 1960-61, and that Beerman store did not become an outlet until many years later. Originally it was a fully stocked, full service Beerman (later Elder-Beerman) store. It included a full-service auto center, as did the store at Northwest Plaza later on.<br /><br />Lois HarrisNanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991097911750091138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-91629645981599671282009-07-09T21:26:41.702-04:002009-07-09T21:26:41.702-04:00I think I posted on the Trotwood development a yea...I think I posted on the Trotwood development a year or two back, over at Urban Ohio..but not in the Beerman context.<br /><br /><i>Don't forget Southtown shopping center by Dayton Mall, where Elder Beerman had its store, having been shut out of the mall by Rikes.</i><br /><br />Dayton Mall area development is another story. Beerman's interest there was more than their stand-alone department store.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-44961872230767219732009-07-09T13:03:49.051-04:002009-07-09T13:03:49.051-04:00Beerman also purchased a few large parcels south o...Beerman also purchased a few large parcels south of Trotwood's Olde Town around the corner of Olive Rd and Trotwood Blvd back when the nearby subdivisions started building out. Unfortunately the building spurt soon ended on that side of town in the 1960's and they have been sitting on that vacant land ever since.<br /><br />I wonder if they have any undeveloped parcels in other communities.Bruce Kettellehttp://www.totallytrotwood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-54543897888378215052009-07-09T10:31:15.290-04:002009-07-09T10:31:15.290-04:00You whould also include Main St in Trotwood.

The south side was developed with an L shaped center anchored by a Beerman Outlet store and a large grocery (now Trotwood Foodtown) and a bowling alley on the north side (dmolished in the late 90's)but was not able to generate enough momentum to develop the adjacent parcels which still sit empty.Bruce Kettellehttp://www.totallytrotwood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-965743798094364852009-07-08T11:58:33.584-04:002009-07-08T11:58:33.584-04:00Don't forget Southtown shopping center by Dayt...Don't forget Southtown shopping center by Dayton Mall, where Elder Beerman had its store, having been shut out of the mall by Rikes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
