UPDATE (22/7/26): Planet Fitness have just confirmed that they are opening their sixth location in Onondaga County in part of the former Chappells/Bon Ton in Camillus Commons (ex-Plaza/Mall). However, I don't know at this stage if that means that the current location down W Genesee St over in Westvale, erroneously labelled as Camillus by corporate (like the deWitt one across town is technically in East Syracuse, and the newly opened Clay/Moyers Corners one is Baldwinsville on paper, but even lifelong locals get mixed up), is going to relocate, since they'd be too close, and CNY isn't that big an area. I wouldn't be surprised (not much does anymore at my age, mind) if the Westvale Plaza location is closed and becomes another gym (too small for a Golds Gym comeback, but big enough for Orange Theory or even an indie). That plaza has been in decline in recent years, like so many across the region and country. The chaz next door is one of the few things left there. Camillus Commons has Walmart, Tops, St Josephs, and the traffic to support this new location. I can get there just as easily. The lockers at the current one are too small, so you can only fit so much in them. It's also an old building that's been done up, which I always encourage within reason, but when that becomes unfeasible, you just have to move house and/or turn it into a new building site. The old cinema down the block was demolished just a few decades ago for Pep Boys and is now O'Reillys, but that's different, since that still had legs.
