Panera would be great!

The rent factor...Too high at the village, perform or go broke, just the way it is there. I love the Village but lighten up on the rent/cams for a while at least up front. Flat Top among others invested huge buildout costs to be a part of the village of Rochester Hills. Keep it up...you already see where it's going, plenty of empty space available

The Village is going to go out of business if the do not lower rent space.I'm surprised that Mitchell's Seafood has stayed for as long as they have. I still think a caferteria style would do good in Rochester. We need comfort food,good salads,diet plates,veggie dishes ect.....

Lower the rent!

I'd love to see Baja Fresh return. Still miss that place.

Our family loved Flat Top, but we were always amazed they were still open. Never saw more than a few table full when we visited.

Hated seeing Maggie Moo's close as well. Their ice cream was head and shoulders above Coldstone.

With Subway opening in The Village, it seems like the bloom is off the rose. It was nice having niche brands in there. Now, it's starting to look like everywhere else.

Hooters

We LOVED Flat Top! So sad to see it go! It was a great place to go with kids who have food allergies, and the food was always so fresh and delicious.

I would love to see something different, that we don't already have in Rochester Hills. For example Cajun/Creole or Vietnamese cuisine. They also need to keep the prices reasonable to encourage OU students to stop by. Free or low cost delivery to close locations would also encourage people to try it out.

The village seriously needs to reconsider the rent per square foot Flat Top was close to $15,000 a month! It is really to bad!

Richard, we finally agree on a local restaurant. Flat Top was outstanding both in quality and choice. You could eat healthy, choose your own spice level, etc.
Really sorry to see this place close.
Damn!

How about, close the street in between the shops to foot traffic, lease a dozen or so kiosks along this strip, it would increase families (rochester hills...duh), and more potential rent opportunities for the Village...therefor lowering the rent a little so other shops can afford and stay longer. My family and I love the Village, but the traffic, closd spaces to walk, not to mention our restaurants closing...it could do way better...wake up!

Cannot believe Flat Top Grill has closed, but Mitchell's has stayed open. The place is nothing but a "pick-up" joint. Flat Top Grill was great for families or to eat alone.

Disgusted. If the competition with Noodles was a factor, I can't fathom how people preferred Noodles.

The rent story is true. Thats why Hollister and Ambercrombie left and also why Yankee Candle is moving to a smaller space in the mall. It is going to look like Meadowbrook and Winchester did if they keep adding eateries. Ive delivered to that mall for 9 years and the lack of stores is also taking away food from my family. Id like to see Oceania come back but maybe even put a Kiddie Place in there for kids indoors since they always have kids things there in the summer.

All my friends saw the Chinese restaurant leave and were sad to see it go....it was fantastic and reasonably priced. Maybe we could get them to come back or another Chinese restaurant...not Thai....not Japanese or combo of all..........CHINESE!..

Would like to see a nice market, with good meats, seafood, dips, etc...
Some type of coney island would be great as well.
Or, a comfy sports bar with good burgers.

The last thing Rochester needs is another sports bar or coney place.

Sad to see Maggie Moo's go ! It was nice to walk to the Village during the summer and get ice-cream, my daughter loved it ! Not the same at Coldstone and now there will be a yogurt place? Not the same. Also, it's been sad to see stores clothing - not sure if it's permanantly gone, I've seen closed and remodeling , but my daughter loved to shop at "The Childrens Place" now it's closed - just not a place for families to go and walk around anymore.
