Plans for WorkOut World #2 + Ex-Rainbow Foods window
After months of talk with no action, a blueprint for a WorkOut World fitness center has been posted in the front window of the long-empty, former Rainbow Foods in Rochester’s Maplewood Square shopping center.
However, a Realtor lock is still clamped on the door and the “For Lease” signs are still up.
People who have been in the Med-City for a while will remember that Rainbow Foods closed its two Rochester stores in Mayo of 2003. I'd say it is largest space that has been empty that long.
The ex-Carson Pirie Scott at Miracle Mile long held the record for top real estate white elephant for many years until HOM Furniture re-vamped it for a new store.
Mayo of 2003?

No thanks.
Prefer Mustard of 2006.

It seems none of you have the memo. In Rah Rah Rochester we now have to say Mayo instead of May. They bought the rights along with some more side streets to make another park.

It could have been another Mayo warehouse-its just a typo!

Glad to hear potential to revitalize that shopping area. Rainbow closes, Target moves, BK closes - it's really an eyesore.

This place will never open, they have so much bad press back home they wont be able to afford to do anything. Borgi is being sued from every angle for being a slime ball business owner, he just recently lost and closed a gym in weathersfiels ct name friendly fitness. Google friendly fitness and see all the postings from the recent members they signed up and stole their money....Buyer Be ware

I'd check out their Better Business Bureau rating. It doesn't look good to me. www.bbb.org and look up Work Out World.
