The old Ruby Tuesday restaurant building, which sat empty for years, was torn down at the Willingboro Town Center in recent months to prepare for a new resident: A Chase Bank.
The building next door is also empty. Half of it once housed a Starbucks, then a Hardee’s Restaurant, but now just looks lonely in the Town Center, a mixed-used development which includes a satellite campus of Rowan College at Burlington County, retail stores, restaurants, the library and multiple other businesses.
Willingboro, like some other South Jersey towns, can’t seem to get sit-down restaurant chains as opposed to fast-food chains to put roots down.
