by It was an emotional day as we all found out that beloved Convenient Store Owner Bill Rochelle is closing the store for good very soon. We all know, and love Bill and I wanted to give him this chance to fill everyone in and say goodbye on his terms.
You can hear his emotional and heartfelt goodbye here –
Such a shame that he was given a 30 day notice after being in business for so many ears. He’s a staple in that neighborhood. I don’t have high hopes of what the future will look like for that store. Seems as if most convenient stores end up as places that have lower standards for their products and for cleanliness. Wish Bill the best.
I just can’t believe this. Bill was my boss, my mentor for many years. He knew so much and was always kind to anyone who needed it. Bill I’m so sorry this has happened to you.
Who owns the property there? Good luck Bill
I cant believe this! So shocking. I love and go into Convenient every day! I love Bill and all of his staff! To Gina Kristin Connie and the rest I will miss seeing you all
I’m sorry Bill and I can’t believe they are taking this away from you! You have been great to us growing up! When dating my husband we would go out of our way to see you cause you would put special orders in for us (we lived in another city).
So sad the nicest guy ever met no matter what’s going to happen over there it’s not the same I wish you the best my friend
I loved winning a book of scratch offs when i lived on david dr. Ive been in fl for 15 years good luck bill you are a good man
What a loss for our community
OMG I have been going to this store for years. Will miss the store, products, employees and especially Bill. What a trustworthy person. Customer service like the days of old. Cannot find that anywhere else today. This has me heartbroken.
Been in this store a few times, just needing something on the road. So sad to hear after all this time. So sad the the owner of the strip can’t even explain what the deal is. I’m soo sorry for the loss for all who loved, knew & supported this local business for so long. Prayers for you & God Bless! 💔
Goodbye for now my friend
Have been going there for many years. Good luck Bill!
Very Sad. Have been going there for years. Good Luck Bill.
What is the address to stop by
Who is the owner of the building and what is his phone number?
I understand that the rent was raised from a couple of thousand to nine thousand a month to get rid of him. DO not ever do business with the new tenants.
Not the new tenants fault
In this situation, yes it is.
Just terrible! Expose these people that did this!
Awe Bill, I’m so sorry! You have been such a great guy and source of information when I needed a good bottle of wine for dinner parties! If you didn’t have it, you offered to order it for me. I really appreciate you and your store. I wish you all the luck in the world and best wishes in your future. 🥹 Lori Davidson North Olmsted resident
