Tell us your opinion in the comments.
The sign says “Betsy’s,” but this was very recently a store of a different name. What was it? (Bonus: Why did it vacate?)

Wellesley will always have turnover with businesses. One business leaves, another one arrives.
City Sports is the latest company to open up shop in town. This last year, Pinkberry, First Commons Bank and a new Whole Foods Market opened. Boloco burrito restaurant will be next.
Yesterday via Twitter, Wellesley Patch saw some Tweets lamenting new businesses in town. People said there are too many pizza shops and banks in Wellesley.
While Wellesley Square struggles to find itself in today’s plummeting economic climate, and Linden Square rolls out the red carpet for new commerce and attractions seemingly every month, which businesses do you want to see come to Wellesley? Which ones will have the most positive effect on the town?

I'd love a children's clothing store that sells reasonably priced clothes.

In other words, Rugged Bear.

Well, there's Abigail's Children's Boutique in Wellesley Square...

Abigail's isn't reasonably priced and they don't have clothes for older kids (especially boy clothes.) I'd love to see a store like 77 Kids.

So far, based on comments here and Twitter, we have suggestions for a reasonably priced clothing store, a b.good, The Paper Store, a niche wine shop, a Panda Express, a Pei Mei and I suggested a ski/snowboard shop which doubles as a golf store during summer months. Anything else?

Mem- Similar to Rugged Bear but better quality clothing.

A decent reasonably-priced family restaurant (b good is a great option) and absolutely no more pizza restaurants.

A computer supply store, a place where you can get ink cartridges, and make electronic purchases (computers, cameras, i phones, etc.)
