While most welcomed the new commercial outlet, a handful of residents expressed their dismay. "It's terrible", remarked banker Derwin Gates, " It only emphasises the narrowness of our city's streets. I shan't shop at that establishment.". There's not even room on the road for my bicycle!"

This news also garnered remarks from Grand Valley railroad executive Wesley Waldekker: "We're very pleased with this development. Coupled with the recent construction of the Metzger Hotel (one block north of Walnut on Hunter St. -ED.), this will allow us to complete our upgrades to Central Station's platforms and permit, finally, ballasting of our main line through this area."
