From NY1:The shuttered stores, padlocked doors and boarded-up windows of a shopping center on Kissena Boulevard were once the site of intense commercial activity years ago.
NY1 reached the center's leasing agent, Pelcorp Management Company, and officials said they are not trying to force businesses out so they can sell the property. They also said they are actively looking for new tenants.
The spokesperson said Pelcorp left the stores empty because it expected the business anchoring the center, National Wholesale Liquidators, to expand and renovate. But that company filed for bankruptcy a few months ago.

This is how a community dies. Re-populate those stores fast, while the customers are still shopping in that area.
When you see shuttered store fronts that is a definite sign of a Cancer attacking the area
They talked about this as if it was only happening in this one neighborhood. They ought to go over to Steinway Street in Astoria and see what's happened there. Nothing but schock hoochie mama clothes and a few cramped and crowded chain stores.
Bell Blvd isnt looking to good.
Pelcorp is an insensitive sham of a landlord. They are the organiztion and family that inherited their great-uncle David Minkin's fortune.
They have been my landlord since I moved to Queens, and are horrible and insensitive to spending money and helping tenants.
Why don't I move, the rent is cheap, and they would win if I did.
What is Pelcorp doing??
Warehousing to get a big box and more money, goodbye mom and pop.
Imagine that. Rotten landlords.
