LOCAL BUZZ

By Kristen Hampshire

New to North Canton

This spring, Las Vegas pastry chef Elisabeth Park opened her first shop, Stuffed Pastry, on South Main Street. Cases are filled with a wide selection of confections, cakes and cookies, from delicate cannoli to rich cream puffs and elegant eclairs. Have an appetite for a slice? Check out Park Street Pizza on South Main Street, where the “pie-losophy” is to use farm-fresh and locally grown ingredients whenever possible to strengthen the economy with every pizza that comes out of the shop’s ovens.

Meijer opened at the former Kmart site on Fulton Drive and includes a 12-pump gas station and 155,000-square-foot supercenter. The store expects to hire about 300 team members. Meanwhile, a portion of the closed Fishers Food store on Cleveland Avenue N.W. will become a new Aldi, the seventh in Stark County, due to open with a renovated exterior.
