Shopping Center Changes its Name and Gets a New look
M08 SHOPPING CENTER
This is a rendering of the plans for the newly remodeled Brecksville Town Center.
The Snider Company, property manager
of the Brecksville Shopping Center,
announced that the Brecksville Shopping
Center will be renamed Brecksville Town
Center in conjunction with a $1.6 million
renovation. Construction will begin
mid-June with a completion date slated
for early fall.
“The Brecksville Shopping Center has
been an integral part of our community
for decades,” Mayor Jerry Hruby said.
“This major renovation project will enhance
not only the services of the facility,
but will add to the charm and character
of our historic downtown. This is a major
commitment by the ownership to their
merchants, shoppers and our commu-
nity. We are certainly appreciative and
acknowledge their dedication to improving
our already successful downtown and
shopping experience.”
The renovation plans include increased
parking, innovative architectural elements,
improved lighting and signage
and an improved traffic flow plan.
Built by William Snider and William
Seminsky, Brecksville Shopping Center
opened in 1962 and was the first shopping
center constructed in the city. Some
of the original tenants were Vaughn’s
Country Counter, Woolworth’s, Cleveland
Trust Bank, Pick ‘N’ Pay and Marshall
Drug.

On Friday, June 3, the Brecksville Co-op Preschool held a year-end party at Kid’s Quarters.
The 3-year-olds had their party at 10 a.m., and the 4-year-olds had theirs at 1 p.m.
A total of 72 students enjoyed the day’s festivities. The perfect sunny day was made even
better when an ice cream truck visited. Lead teacher Charlene Nebozuk and assistant

customers in mind, everything from
their safety and convenience to aesthetic
appeal and ambiance. Changing the
name to Brecksville Town Center reflects
the new look and the feeling we want to
convey to the public. We are committed
to this community and our clientele,”
Denise Blank, the center manager, said.
“The center will remain open throughout
the renovation. We hope our loyal
customers will ‘pardon our dust’ and
continue shopping at their favorite stores
during this time.”

in Brecksville. It owns and manages
shopping centers, office buildings and
